Cultural Continuity Reduces Suicide Risk Among Aboriginal Peoples
Aboriginal communities that give their citizens a sense of a shared past and a promising future are less vulnerable to suicide. People who see their identity as something that persists over time are less inclined to take their own life when facing hardships.York's Knowledge Mobilization Unit provides services and funding for faculty, graduate students, and community organizations seeking to maximize the impact of academic research and expertise on public policy, social programming, and professional practice. It is supported by SSHRC and CIHR grants, and by the Office of the Vice-President Research & Innovation.

The Response of Hemostatic Marker Levels to Activated Factor VII in a Neonate following Cardiopulmonary Bypass
The primary function of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) is to increase thrombin formation which leads to increased fibrin and less “bleeding.” As a result, most of literature utilizes “bleeding” as the outcome measure with respect to rFVIIa. However, we report the actual effect of rFVIIa on changes in hemostatic markers such as prothrombin activation peptide F1.2, thrombin antithrombin complex (TAT), D-dimer, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) in a neonate after cardiopulmonary bypass. A single dose of rFVIIa caused a 5.5-fold increase in F1.2, 3.5-fold increase in TAT, and a small increase in d-dimer compared to only a 1.5-fold increase, no increase, and a decrease, respectively, in two neonates undergoing the same procedure having not received rFVIIa. The patterns of change for tPA and PAI were similar

Potential model calculations and predictions for quarkonia
We investigate the spectroscopy and decays of the charm-strange quarkonium
system in a potential model consisting of a relativistic kinetic energy term, a
linear confining term including its scalar and vector relativistic corrections
and the complete perturbative one-loop quantum chromodynamic short distance
potential. The masses and wave functions of the various states are obtained
using a variational technique, which are then used in a perturbative treatment
of the potential to find the mass spectrum of the system and
radiative decay widths. Our results compare well with the available data for
the spectrum of states. We include a discussion of the effect of mixing
and an investigation of the Lorentz nature of the confining potential.Comment: 6 pages 3 Table

The VLA/ALMA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity (VANDAM) Survey of Perseus Protostars. VI. Characterizing the Formation Mechanism for Close Multiple Systems
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations
of multiple protostar systems in the Perseus molecular cloud previously
detected by the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). We observed 17 close
(600~AU separation) multiple systems at 1.3~mm in continuum and five
molecular lines (i.e., \twco, \cateo, \thco, HCO, SO) to characterize the
circum-multiple environments in which these systems are forming. We detect at
least one component in the continuum for the 17 multiple systems. In three
systems, one companion is not detected, and for two systems the companions are
unresolved at our observed resolution. We also detect circum-multiple dust
emission toward 8 out of 9 Class 0 multiples. Circum-multiple dust emission is
not detected toward any of the 8 Class I multiples. Twelve systems are detected
in the dense gas tracers toward their disks/inner envelopes. For these 12
systems, we use the dense gas observations to characterize their formation
mechanism. The velocity gradients in the circum-multiple gas are clearly
orthogonal to the outflow directions in 8 out of the 12 systems, consistent
with disk fragmentation. Moreover, only two systems with separations 200~AU
are \textit{inconsistent} with disk fragmentation, in addition to the two
widest systems (500~AU). Our results suggest that disk fragmentation via
gravitational instability is an important formation mechanism for close
multiple systems, but further statistics are needed to better determine the
relative fraction formed via this method.Comment: 48 Pages, 26 Figures, 7 Tables, Accepted by Ap
