The effects of dry and liquid magnesium carbonate on pinch grip muscular endurance
No full textWith an increased use of liquid magnesium carbonate during the covid-19 pandemic because of its hand sanitizing properties we sought out to identify the muscular endurance benefits of dry and liquid magnesium carbonate during a pinch grip on a wood block. We hypothesized the application of dry and liquid magnesium carbonate will provide greater muscular endurance benefits than no magnesium carbonate during a submaximal pinch grip pull of 70 to 80% of maximum effort. Additionally, that liquid magnesium carbonate will provide similar benefits as dry magnesium carbonate. Five participants performed one trial of each of the three variables of dry hands with no magnesium carbonate, dry hands with dry magnesium carbonate and dry hands with liquid magnesium carbonate. Trials consisted of participant performing an isometric mid-thigh pull using a pronated pinch grip on a wood block. Dry magnesium carbonate grip increased by 177.7% as the largest and statistically significant change in grip duration. Whereas liquid magnesium grip duration increased by 108.8% compared to no magnesium carbonate however the change was not statistically significant. We recommend the use of dry magnesium carbonate during sport specific situations that require pinch grips on wooden surfaces, as it provided the greatest muscular endurance benefits. Additionally, encourage further research to be done on liquid and dry magnesium carbonate to provide definitive results, to be able to develop best practice of magnesium carbonate within the sport of rock climbing.Not peer reviewedStudent Research Week Poster (2021)Pinch GripMuscular EnduranceGrip enduranceLiquid chalkMagnesium Carbonat
Indigenous and Parks Canada Agency perspectives on the management of Gulf Islands National Park Reserve
No full textIn the Gulf Islands and Salish Sea Regions of British Columbia the Parks Canada Agency (PCA) currently operates Gulf Islands National Park Reserve (GINPR) and is in the development phase for the proposed Southern Strait of Georgia National Marine Conservation Area Reserve (SSGNMCAR). Protected areas such as these are meant to protect the ecological and cultural heritage of the region on behalf of all Canadians. As the government runs and expands their protected areas in the region it is important to look at their relationship with Indigenous communities in particular, as the PCA mandate requires the agency to work in “partnership” with Indigenous communities (Parks Canada 2017). The region is home to nearly 20 First Nations groups including the three W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations of the W̱SÁNEĆ Leadership Council (WLC). The WLC is an Indigenous government that has publicly stated their perception of a strained relationship with the PCA beginning before the formal establishment of GINPR in 2003. Through historical analysis; interviews with employees from the PCA and members of the W̱SÁNEĆ community; and a review of several aspects of site management and establishment in the region – this thesis explores the changing relationship between the PCA and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. Through this thesis I collect and discuss recommendations from W̱SÁNEĆ community members, and develop several myself, for the PCA to consider developing to improve the partnership between the two bodies. Potentially a partnership could lead towards formalized and lasting co-operative decision-making practice in the region’s cultural and natural heritage management.Graduat

No full textThe long-established academic journal, Mythlore of the Mythopoeic Society, began using the editor’s platform of the SWOSU Digital Commons in 2017. The executive editor, Janet Croft of Rutgers University, will discuss the differences between her former way of managing submissions, reader reviews, and producing a predominantly print journal to doing the work digitally using the editor’s platform of the Institutional Repository. She will describe advantages and disadvantages to using the platform. This is an opportunity for Institutional Repository administrators to ask concrete questions about the learning curve and experience of a seasoned journal editor who has made the transition to using the Digital Commons editor’s platform.Faculty Articles & Research [Southwestern Oklahoma State University] 38; Presentation at Digital Commons Heartland User Group, Fort Hays State University, Kansas, October 15, 201
