Prent ice Institute Publicat ion
Summer 2015 is far from a time of fun in
the sun for us in the Prentice Institute. It is
full steam ahead with our many research
and outreach endeavours. Many of us
associated with the Prentice Institute are
giving research papers at various
conferences. And all are busy doing research
and writing up our research for publication.
The reach and recognition of the
Prentice Institute grows each year locally,
nationally and internationally. Our research
is always peer-reviewed and academic. This
gives the research we do a special credibility
and helps build our reputation across the
world. You will get a sense of the breadth
and amount of research we are doing from
checking the URL below. This will take you
to a summary report of our research over
only a two year period. It will be apparent
why the reach and reputation of the
Prentice Institute is growing by leaps and
bounds.
Wishing all our followers and supporters an
enjoyable summer.
~Susan A. McDaniel
Who is the ‘duck’ in
gumboots? Well, let me
introduce this duck, which
is actually a gull. What
everyone in the Prentice
Institute refers to as a
duck, seems to make an
appearance every time I
appear in any news story
that includes a photo. This
is one photogenic ‘duck’ so
we thought maybe she/he
has become our mascot.
She/he may need a name.
Suggestions welcome.
The Prentice Institute has published a summary report
showcasing the outstanding research done by our many
afiliates at the University of Lethbridge, across Canada
and over-seas. Covering the academic years of 2013-
2015, this publication highlights the numerous ways our
affiliates contribute to their diverse fields of study.
Included is how active many of them are in outreach to
their communities and society at large. We are proud to
present our research, please go to: http://issuu.com/

Prentice Institute Post Doc Dr. Jing Shen says goodbye
Dr. Andrew Patterson joins us from the
University of British Columbia where he
completed his Ph.D. in Sociology. His
research compares the impact of political
regimes on population health. He finds a surprisingly strong relationship
between democratic governance and population health. As part of his post-doctoral
research, he intends to compare more regime types, further
exploring the relationship between democracy, economic prosperity and
health, attempting to discern why neither systems of accountability for
leaders’ decisions nor social inequalities act as mediators. He is very keen
to analyse causes and explanations of the relationship of governance to
population health, relying on an ecological
perspective.
We are sad to see Jing leave our Institute early. She completes her journey here on
April 30th and will return to her husband in Toronto shortly thereafter.
We wish you well Jing, with all your future endeavours!
Dr. Daniel Dutton is currently a Research Associate at The School of
Public Policy, University of Calgary. His training is in population health and
economics and he has a special interest in how policy can change
population-level health outcomes. In the past he worked for the Ontario
Ministry of Finance before moving to Alberta for his Ph.D.
On a side note, in a funny email exchange, Daniel wanted me to mention that
he is very disorganized . I don’t believe it.

A people-to-people initiative to rebuild school
libraries in disaster-affected communities
ReadWorld Foundation has sent over 30 boxes of
donated books to Tacloban City, Philippines to help
rebuild libraries in public schools affected by super
typhoon Haiyan. This was made possible by the
generosity of the Lethbridge community- schools,
students, teachers, parents, colleagues, friends,
residents, and West Lethbridge Lions Club.
Update:
It takes more than 1 box to reconstruct libraries damaged by the strongest typhoon ever recorded. The Lethbridge community has
continued donate books and we need to ship them. We are looking for sponsors to help us send these books to the Philippines.
Shipping cost of 1 standard box (18 x 18 x 33) is $90. Please contact [email protected] if you wish to become a
sponsor. We accept individual, group, and corporate sponsorship.

Our New Postdoctoral Fellow
The Prentice Institute welcomes our New Postdoctoral Fellow in January 2014.
Dr. Jing Shen obtained her Ph.D. degree in Sociology
from University of Toronto in 2013. Her research
interests include: social inequality and stratification,
employment and labour markets, population studies,
urban sociology, and research methods. Her doctoral
dissertation addresses the formation and consequences
of labour market inequality in the context of China's
transitional economy. Her current work also includes
the formation and consequences of ethnic economies
and immigrants' residential concentration in Canada.
Dr. Shen will join the Prentice Institute for Global
Population and Economy as a Post-doctoral fellow in
January, 2014. During her two-year post-doctoral ten-ure,
Dr. Shen will be engaged in life course studies focusing on job search behav-iors
and late-stage career success in multiple societies, such as Canada, China, and
the United States. She will also work on various ongoing projects at the Prentice.
As is apparent from this issue of the Prentice Post, the Prentice
Institute is ever more active in realizing its mission and mandate. We
have expanded on all fronts:
Our research in both numbers of publications and grant support
(validation for the value and importance of our research) has
increased exponentially over the past year.
Our outreach to students, public audiences, the media, and policy
makers has accelerated.
We have grown the numbers of graduate students associated with the Prentice Institute
to seven, and regularly receive inquiries about graduate studies from all over the world.
We have been successful in recruiting a number of top post-doctoral fellows.
We have been active in building partnerships and connections with fellow institutes,
most recently with the newly created Centre for Population Dynamics at McGill
University.
We are building collaborations across the University of Lethbridge and Alberta, most
recently teaming with Agricultural Economics with a Brown Bag Series guest who
spoke about global food security. We are also pleased that a special Prentice Institute
issue of Canadian Studies in Population is in preparation, where some of our research
with be highlighted.
Last but hardly least, we have been honoured by a donation from the Society of Edmon-ton
demographers to support graduate students at the Prentice Institute in Population
Studies and Demography, a clear recognition of our contributions in population studies
in Alberta.
The Prentice Institute is becoming increasingly recognized across the world as a source of
cutting-edge research and information about global population and economy.
In early summer 2014, we will be celebrating five years of operation of the Prentice
Institute. Watch for our birthday celebration and a special publication with highlights of our
achievements over those five years.

U of L Water Main Breaks, extensive damage ensues.
“It was a river, to put it into perspective,” says John O’Keeffe, Executive Director of The University of Lethbridge’s Secu-rity
Department.
Fortunately the break happened in June; unfortunately the damage was
immeasurable. Crews scrambled to get the gushing water under control as it snaked
its way through hallways, into the library, down
flights of stairs into The Centre of the Arts and
University Hall.
Air circulation, flood lights, odd smells and lock
out inconvenienced all who worked in the library
including the Prentice Institute staff. All the
while, the roof was being repaired, the Giants of
Jupiter thundered their way upon our roof top and
work was often stopped for a break to find solace
in silence off campus. Now, it is well into October and there are only skeletons of
reminders of the disaster that once was.
Floods continue, Southern Alberta is Hit
Shortly after the main break at the UofL, Lethbridge and most of southern Alberta
suffered severe flooding from high rain falls and melting snow in the mountains.
Many homes were, in less than a few hours, completely destroyed by raging riv-ers.
High River, Gleichen, Calgary and many areas in the mountains were dam-aged
beyond repair while hundreds of families were left homeless. The news was
plastered daily on several media outlets with stories of both heroism and loss.
Various communities, several business and institutes stepped in to assist in what
ever way shape or form was most immediate. The UofL opened its doors, allow-ing
displaced families and individuals to live, temporarily, in student housing for
the summer months as they mourned their losses and began the daunting process
of rebuilding their homes, and their lives.
Changes to the Prentice Boardroom
The Prentice Institute boardroom has had a facelift. The boardroom is a hive of activity and
only recently we were able to add modern day technologies to our international activities.
We now, in the comfort of our own spaces, can join our cohorts around the world using
various social media software to connect and build instantaneously. The lure of foreign
countries still beckon, but we now have the power to dial in where ever our minds and
research teams take us.
Never underestimate the joy people derive from hearing something they already know.
-- Enrico Fermi (1901-1954)

We, at the Prentice Institute have the pleasure of gathering information from all our affiliates, associates, partners and
colleagues. Where they have been, where they are going and what they plan to accomplish once they get there. It truly
amazes me, as I get one piece of the puzzle from one area and one from another, just how widespread the knowledge is as it
grows from single seed to fruition in any area at any given moment.
Singularly we sometimes miss seeing the enormity of the collective reach we have in the Prentice Institute. In our busy lives
we find it hard to recognize all the work that is being accomplished. We read the news and watch what is happening from
economics to environment to political change to foreign trade. What we see in our own exploration, will it be enough to
make changes in every day lives?
When the moments get tough, as we well know they do, as we watch academic jobs in Alberta dangle on frayed rope, how
do we know what we are doing is making significant difference? We have to remain hopeful in the knowledge all the hours
and time and effort that goes into all that is accomplished is making its way across oceans and continents.
Our part, here at the Prentice Institute, is to eagerly bring our connections along with research and knowledge to openly
speak, teach and spread the word like connecting the dots on a map. Bringing manageable, doable pieces together thrills me
as our future is an immediate, collaborative, successful progress. Comforting really.
Look at where we have been. There is a difference being made. And we all get to be a part of it. What a thrill!

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Women and independence in the nineteenth century novel : a study of Austen, Trollope and James
No full text'Women
and
independence in the nineteenth century novel : a
study
of
Austen, Trollope
and
James', begins
with the
concept of
independence
and works through the three
most common usages of
the
word.
The first, financial independence (not
needing to
earn one's
livelihood)
appears to be
a necessary prerequisite
for the
second
and third forms
of
independence,
although it is by
no means an
unequivocal good
in
any of
the
novels.
The
second,
intellectual
independence (not
depending
on others
for
one's opinion or conduct;
unwilling
to be
under obligation
to
others),
is
a matter of asserting independence
while employing
terms
which society recognizes.
The third,
of
being independent, is
exemplified
by
an
inward
struggle
for
a
knowledge
of self.
In
order
to trace the development
of
the idea
of self
during the
nineteenth century,
I have
chosen a group of novels which seem
to be
representative of
the beginning, the
middle, and the
end of
the period.
Particular
attention
is
given
to the
characterizations of
Emma
Woodhouse, Glencora Palliser, Isabel Archer, Milly Theale and
Maggie
Verver. Whereas in Jane Austen's
novels
the self
has a
definite shape
which the heroine
must
discover, and
in Anthony Trollope's
novels
the
self
(reflecting
the idea
of socially-determined man) must
learn to
accommodate social and political changes,
in Henry James's
novels
the
self
determined by
external manifestations
(hollow
man)
is
posed
against
the exercise of
the free
spirit or soul.
Jane Austen's
novels
look backward,
as she reacts against
late
eighteenth century romanticism, and
forward,
with
the development
of
the heroine
who exemplifies
intellectual independence. Anthony
Trollope's
women characters are creatures of social and political
adaptation; although
they do
not
derive their
reason
for being
from
men,
they
must accommodate
themselves to
men's wishes.
And
Henry James looks backward,
wistfully, at
Austen's
solid, comforting,
innocent
self and
forward, despairingly, to the dark,
unknowable self
of
the twentieth
century
Cash flow is cash and is a fact. Net income is just an opinion
No full textA company's profit after tax (or net income) is quite an arbitrary figure, obtained after assuming certain accounting hypotheses regarding expenses and revenues. On the other hand, its cash flow is an objective measure, a single figure that is not subject to any personal criterion. In general, to study a company's situation, it is more useful to operate with the cash flow (equity cash flow, free cash flow or capital cash flow) as it is a single figure, while the net income is one of several that can be obtained, depending on the criteria applied. Profit after tax (PAT) is equal to the equity cash flow when the company is not growing, buys fixed assets for an amount identical to depreciation, keeps debt constant, and only writes off or sells fully depreciated assets. Profit after tax (PAT) is also equal to the equity cash flow when the company collects in cash, pays in cash, holds no stock (this company's working capital requirements are zero), and buys fixed assets for an amount identical to depreciation. When making projections, the dividends and other forecast payments to shareholders must be exactly equal to expected equity cash flows.Cash flow; Net income; Equity cash flow; Free cash flow; Capital cash flow;
HIV drugs inhibit transfer of plasmids carrying extended-spectrum β-lactamase and carbapenemase genes
No full textAntimicrobial-resistant (AMR) infections pose a serious risk to human and animal health. A major factor contributing to this global crisis is the sharing of resistance genes between different bacteria via plasmids. The WHO lists Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemases as "critical" priorities for new drug development. These resistance genes are most often shared via plasmid transfer. However, finding methods to prevent resistance gene sharing has been hampered by the lack of screening systems for medium-/high-throughput approaches. Here, we have used an ESBL-producing plasmid, pCT, and a carbapenemase-producing plasmid, pKpQIL, in two different Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli and K. pneumoniae Using these critical resistance-pathogen combinations, we developed an assay using fluorescent proteins, flow cytometry, and confocal microscopy to assess plasmid transmission inhibition within bacterial populations in a medium-throughput manner. Three compounds with some reports of antiplasmid properties were tested; chlorpromazine reduced transmission of both plasmids and linoleic acid reduced transmission of pCT. We screened the Prestwick library of over 1,200 FDA-approved drugs/compounds. From this, we found two nucleoside analogue drugs used to treat HIV, abacavir and azidothymidine (AZT), which reduced plasmid transmission (AZT, e.g., at 0.25 μg/ml reduced pCT transmission in E. coli by 83.3% and pKpQIL transmission in K. pneumoniae by 80.8% compared to untreated controls). Plasmid transmission was reduced by concentrations of the drugs which are below peak serum concentrations and are achievable in the gastrointestinal tract. These drugs could be used to decolonize humans, animals, or the environment from AMR plasmids.Importance: More and more bacterial infections are becoming resistant to antibiotics. This has made treatment of many infections very difficult. One of the reasons this is such a large problem is that bacteria are able to share their genetic material with other bacteria, and these shared genes often include resistance to a variety of antibiotics, including some of our drugs of last resort. We are addressing this problem by using a fluorescence-based system to search for drugs that will stop bacteria from sharing resistance genes. We uncovered a new role for two drugs used to treat HIV and show that they are able to prevent the sharing of two different types of resistance genes in two unique bacterial strains. This work lays the foundation for future work to reduce the prevalence of resistant infections.</p
