Integrating a Narrative Approach to Medicine
No full textThis podcast was prepared for the UWill Discover Sustainable Futures Project at the University of Windsor by Outstanding Scholar student Krishali Kumar.
Narrative medicine is a technique in which a physician will apply "narrative competence-that is, [the capacity to receive, interpret, co-construct, and bear witness to the stories I...] patients bring" (Peterkin, 2012, paras. 1). This podcast will explore the roots of narrative medicine, its benefits considering the current state of Canadian healthcare, and disadvantages, drawing from experiential applications in healthcare institutions across the globe and locally, including at the University of Toronto\u27s Narrative Medicine Lab. Additionally, this podcast will suggest strategies in integrating narrative medicine in care for future healthcare professionals. The potential impact of this work is to instill in future medical providers the importance of the medical humanities as to promote the well-being of their future patients

Step 1: How to do a podcast
No full textIn this episode, two University of Windsor Outstanding Scholars Students Grace Taylor and Krishali Kumar interview Anne Rudzinski and Tim Brunet about how to plan a podcast. The UWill Discover Podcast is a University of Windsor initiative of the UWill Discover Sustainable Futures project. UWill Discover is a year-long program where University of Windsor undergraduate and graduate students share their experiences in doing creative and research work. Students can participate in:
a week-long conference
writing workshops
a writing retreat
a STEMx Policython (like a hackathon for policymaking)
publishing the UWill Discover Journal
The UWill Discover publications are archived through the wonderful work of the Leddy
Library at Scholarship at UWindsor.

The Influence of Media Framing in a Participatory Democracy: The Genetic Non-Discrimination Act
No full textGenetic Non-Discrimination legislation arrived in Canada almost a decade after the US, UK, EU and Australia. Its birth was fraught: it took 5 legislative attempts, and finally succeeded against the opposition of a majority PM, Justice Minister, and Cabinet, not to mention a Supreme Court of Canada Challenge. This important legislation received little coverage in the press, and when it did, it was often at the urging of two opposing factions: civil society groups (Huntington's Society Canada, the Centre for Jewish and Israeli Affairs, Breast Cancer Canada) versus the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association (CLHIA). Intense political lobbying was conducted by both parties, but a unique element of the civil society organizations was to promote a citizen writing campaign. In an analysis of media covering the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GNDA), or Bill S-201 (2017). I aim to investigate the effects of media framing in adequately informing the public about the GNDA. To do so, I conducted a literature review to identify key features of a participatory democracy and features impacting framing. Then, I developed a corpus of 88 articles, and identified 9 key pieces of media, including articles, YouTube videos, and opinion pieces. I analyzed how media framing influenced the dissemination of information regarding the GNDA. By shedding light on the media's pivotal role in creating an informed public within the realm of health policy, I underscore the importance and responsibility of media, and its potential impact on effective participatory democracy from flourishing
Defined, Described and Defended: The Genetic Non-Discrimination Act in the Media
Get PDFGenetic testing is a mainstream tool for disease prevention, diagnosis, and recreational genealogy. Many countries enacted legislation to protect their citizens against genetic discrimination in labour, health, and insurance markets. Risks assumed by an individual extend to their genetic relatives non-consensually. Canada lagged other nations in developing protections via Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GNDA). As part of a larger study, my project has centered on how the GNDA was framed by journalists, editorials, and on emerging social-media platforms. The decade long fight to enact the GNDA was an uphill battle filled with closed-door lobbying, political-maneuvering, and legal challenges. In the earliest media coverage, federal parties supported protections: both the Conservative and Liberal Parties espoused policies to prevent genetic discrimination. Nevertheless, both parties obstructed NDP initiatives. The lack of follow-through elicited speculation by journalists regarding the role of insurance lobbyists. Interviews with proponents indicate that at the provincial level, most governments were supportive or indifferent of the GNDA. The Act survived passage as a Private Member’s Bill – the first to do so against the wishes of a Majority Party leadership. Afterwards, along with the Quebec and the B.C. government, the Attorney General of Canada challenged the Act in court based upon perceived infringements of provincial jurisdiction. The Act remains in force having survived a Supreme Court Challenge in 2019. Presently, the GNDA is being reported in social-media as potential defense against COVID-19 testing which utilizes DNA-sequencing to confirm infection. How will genetic discrimination be defined and defended in the media post-GNDA
Physicochemical properties, nutritional and sensory quality of low-fat Ashwagandha and Giloy-fortified sponge cakes during storage
No full textThis study was aimed to optimize mixtures of ashwagandha powder and giloy powder along with wheat flour for the production of sponge cake. Ashwagandha powder and giloy powder were applied 2 to 5% and 5 to 8%, and yogurt was used as fat-replacer 50%. Optimization of the formulation was based on the sensory evaluation obtained through 9-point Hedonic scale. The results revealed that sponge cake incorporated with 2% ashwagandha powder and 5% giloy powder, i.e. ashwagandha giloy fortified sponge cake (AGFSC-I) was most appreciated by the tasting panel members with overall acceptability. Protein (%), fat (%), carbohydrates (%), energy (%), TPC (mg GAE/100 mg), TFC (mg QE/100 mg), and IC50 (mg/ml) value decreased during the storage period of 5 days, i.e. from 15.25 ± 0.03 to 13.15 ± 0.10; 12.44 ± 0.04 to 12.2 ± 0.16; 33.62 ± 0.31 to 31.99 ± 0.008; 307.44 ± 1.03 to 290.36 ± 0.96; 14.82 ± 0.13 to 7.694 ± 0.10; 5.111 ± 0.36 to 3.823 ± 0.08; and 13.82 ± 0.10 to 8.807 ± 0.08 respectively. Novelty Statement: Wheat flour sponge cake was prepared with the incorporation of ashwagandha and giloy as AGsFSC. Yogurt was used in place of butter in order to prepare low-fat AGFSC. Shelf-life analysis was performed to study the stability of AGFSC for 5 days. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC
