Religion, Postcolonialism and Globalization: A Sourcebook shows how the roots of our globalized world run deeper than the 1980s or even the end of WWII, tracing back to 15th century European colonial expansion through which the 'modern world system' came into existence. The Sourcebook is divided into four sections, each with a critical introduction by the editor, a series of readings, and discussion questions based on the readings. Canonical readings in religion, globalization and postcolonialism are paired with lesser-known texts in order to invite critical analysis. Extracts explored include work by Max Weber, Edward Said, David Chidester, and Kant, as well as political documents such as the British Parliament's 1813 Act regarding the East India Company. Sources range from the origins of the common phrase "jihad vs. McWorld" in the work of Benjamin Barber, to personal essays reflecting religious responses to globalization. Focusing on a history of religions approach, Religion, Postcolonialism, and Globalization provides an alternative to existing sociological work on religion and globalization.

Mathias Carvalho's Louis Riel is a three-part monograph revolving around a poem about the Canadian Métis leader, Louis Riel. The poem was written by an obscure Brazilian poet just months after Riel's conviction and execution for treason in 1885. How Carvalho was able to learn of Riel's activities and demise at the hands of the Canadian Government is an enigma, and in the initial segment of this monograph the author explores possible answers to the question of sources. The first English translation of the poem comprises the middle segment; and it is followed by an extended essay in which Carvalho's poem is explored in relation to the writings of not only Riel, but of the Cuban revolutionary, José Martí. Reid argues that all three writers were articulating a pan-hemispheric response to nineteenth century colonialism and imperialism that was not only political, social, and economic, but also fundamentally religious. ; https://scholarworks.umf.maine.edu/publications/1060/thumbnail.jpg

Since he was tried and hanged for treason in November of 1885, Louis Riel has been the subject of more histories, biographies, novels, and poetry than any other figure in Canadian history. Politician, founder of Manitoba, and leader of the aboriginal Métis people, Riel led two resistance movements against the Canadian government: the Red River Uprising of 1869-70, and the North-West Rebellion of 1885, in defense of Métis and other minority rights. Against the backdrop of these legendary uprisings, Jennifer Reid examines Riel's religious background, the mythic significance that has consciously been ascribed to him, and how these elements combined to influence Canada's search for a national identity. Reid's study provides a framework for rethinking the geopolitical significance of the modern Canadian state, the historic role of Confederation in establishing the country's collective self-image, and the narrative space through which Riel's voice speaks to these issues. ; https://scholarworks.umf.maine.edu/publications/1057/thumbnail.jpg

From the time of the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, people of British origin have shared the area of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, traditionally called Acadia, with Eastern Canada's Algonkian-speaking peoples, the Mi'kmaq. This historical analysis of colonial Acadia from the perspective of symbolic and mythic existence will be useful to those interested in Canadian history, native Canadian history, religion in Canada, and history of religion. ; https://scholarworks.umf.maine.edu/publications/1059/thumbnail.jpg

Integrating electronic health records (EHR) with health administrative data offer opportunities for enhanced decision support, health systems evaluations and research for improved patient care. We describe the process of integrating EHR data from 12 hospitals in Southwestern Ontario, Canada and present a health systems evaluation enabled by this linkage.
With support and buy-in from the hospital Chief Executive Officers, a data sharing agreement (DSA) with ICES was executed, outlining the process to approve data transfer requests. Due to the complexity and volume of the EHR, complete data were not immediately transferred to ICES; instead, a project subcommittee comprising of physician leadership, local and regional privacy and risk officers, and ICES staff was assembled to review and approve project-specific data integration requests. An evaluation of the adoption of an electronic medication reconciliation system within the EHR on potentially inappropriate prescribing after hospital discharge was conducted using interrupted time-series analyses.
The data integration request process begins with confirmation of data availability and accuracy within the EHR, enabled by a dedicated health information analyst and institutional decision support teams. Once data feasibility is confirmed, project rationale is submitted to the project subcommittee approval. Following approval, the request undergoes privacy and legal assessment as per the DSA and a project-ready dataset is submitted for linkage.
An evaluation of the adoption of an electronic medication reconciliation system demonstrated an immediate and dramatic reduction in inappropriate medication prescribing and associated adverse events such as a fall or fracture among elderly patients discharged following acute inpatient stays.
Administrative data are valuable at assessing population-based health, but often lack key clinical information present in EHRs. Integrating both data sources offers a more comprehensive picture of patient care and allows for robust analyses. Rigorous investigations generate trusted evidence for decision makers to inform policy and quality improvements within the healthcare system.

This paper highlights embarrassment as one of the often-ignored emotions of young people when it comes to discussing issues around sexual health. There have been many sexual health studies on knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of young people over the past two decades, but emotional aspects have been largely ignored, despite a growing literature in the sociology of emotion. A qualitative approach was adopted in the form of focus group discussions, which included questions on sex education, sexual health campaigns and formal and informal sources of sexual health information and advice. Focus groups were conducted in secondary schools in and around Edinburgh and Aberdeen as part of a four-year evaluation study of a Scottish Demonstration Project on young people's sexual health: 'Healthy Respect'. We conclude that is it important for policy makers and sexual health promoters to understand young people's notions of embarrassment. Not only are there elements of sex education that (some) young people perceive as embarrassing, they also sense embarrassment in those people providing them with sex education. Young people reported that both professionals (e.g. teachers and doctors) and their parents could be embarrassed about raising the topic of sexual health. Moreover, as one of the goals of sex education is to ensure an open and non-embarrassing attitude towards sex and sexuality, there is still a major gap between the aspirations of health educators and policy makers and the ways that young people experience such education.
