Accepted in Bella Bella: A historical exemplar of a missionary nursing education, in British Columbia from 1921-1925
This study explores the largely-unknown history of missionary nursing on British Columbia’s Northwest Coast between 1901 and 1925, built around the experience of nurse Doris Nichols. From 1903 until 1935 in the HaĂÉ«zaqv (Heiltsuk) village of WáglĂsla (Bella Bella) there existed a small but persistent school of nursing within a Methodist mission hospital. The hospital was built with the intention to bring spiritual and physical healing to local Indigenous people, however the medical missionaries served all in need along the central coast, and the nursing school sustained this mission. Nichols arrived at Bella Bella in 1921, where she began her training to become a nurse at the R.W. Large Memorial Hospital Training School for Nurses; she was likely one of two (possibly three) student at that time. The educational journey for a student at Bella Bella started with introductions into a tight missionary family and then included a wide range of nursing duties in-hospital, in the community, and even nursing on the water in the medical mission boat. In the 1920s the school was affiliated with the Vancouver General School of Nursing and all student wishing to obtain a Registered Nurse designation competed their third and final year in Vancouver, which was the case with Nichols.
This study used the methods of historical research, specifically guided by a social history framework, to critically examine a variety of primary sources to related to the experience of a missionary nursing student—who lived, learned, worked, and worshiped as a part of the Methodist medical mission in Bella Bella and beyond, while giving voice to the under acknowledged presence of nursing. The study reflected on those experiences from the historical intersections of ethnicity, class, region and religion. The exploration concludes that Doris Nichols’ unique opportunity and experience as a missionary student and nurse was interconnected with—and an extension of—the profound experiences of change that occurred for the Heiltsuk, the Methodist missions, nursing education, and Doris herself. The research also found that the Heiltsuk in-specific, and Indigenous people in-general were excluded from the nurses training program in Bella Bella. This is of significant historical relevance to educators and schools of nursing today, in the development of culturally sensitive curricula that acknowledges the historical impact nursing training has had on Indigenous/ settler relations and the role it still has in ensuring inclusive education.
Résumé
Cette Ă©tude explore l’histoire très peu connue des infirmières missionnaires sur la cĂ´te nord-ouest de la Colombie-Britannique entre 1901 et 1925, basĂ©e sur l’expĂ©rience de l’infirmière Doris Nichols. De 1903 Ă 1935, le village HaĂÉ«zaqv (Heiltsuk) de WáglĂsla (Bella Bella) abritait une Ă©cole de sciences infirmières petite, mais persĂ©vĂ©rante, dans un hĂ´pital de la mission mĂ©thodiste. L’hĂ´pital avait Ă©tĂ© construit dans le but de soigner les blessures physiques et spirituels des Autochtones locaux; cependant, les missionnaires de l’hĂ´pital ont soignĂ© tous ceux dans le besoin le long de la cĂ´te centrale et l’école de sciences infirmières soutenait cette mission. Nichols est arrivĂ©e Ă Bella Bella en 1921, et a commencĂ© sa formation d’infirmière Ă la R.W. Large Memorial Hospital Training School for Nurses; elle y Ă©tait l’une des deux (peut-ĂŞtre trois) Ă©tudiantes Ă ce moment. Le parcours Ă©ducatif d’une Ă©tudiante Ă Bella Bella commençait par les prĂ©sentations de la « famille » de missionnaires et comprenait une variĂ©tĂ© de tâches infirmières Ă l’hĂ´pital, dans la communautĂ© et mĂŞme sur l’eau, Ă bord du bateau mĂ©dical de la mission. Dans les annĂ©es 1920, l’école Ă©tait affiliĂ©e Ă la Vancouver General School of Nursing et toutes les Ă©tudiantes qui dĂ©siraient obtenir le titre d’infirmière autorisĂ©e terminaient leur troisième et dernière annĂ©e Ă Vancouver, ce qui a Ă©tĂ© le cas de Nichols.
Cette étude utilise les méthodes de recherche historique, guidées par un cadre d’histoire sociale, pour examiner de façon critique une variété de sources primaires pour se rattacher à l’expérience des étudiantes infirmières missionnaires qui ont vécu, appris, travaillé et prié dans le cadre de la Mission méthodiste médicale à Bella Bella et ailleurs tout en donnant une voix à la présence trop ignorée des infirmières. L’étude s’est penchée sur ces expériences en examinant les intersections historiques de l’ethnicité, de la classe, de la région et de la religion. L’exploration conclut que l’opportunité unique et l’expérience de Doris Nichols comme étudiante et infirmière missionnaire étaient reliées aux expériences de changements profonds chez les Heiltsuk, misssions aux méthodistes, à la formation en sciences infirmières, et à Doris elle-même. La recherche a également démontré que les peuples autochtones Heiltsuk et ainsi que les Autchtones en général, étaient exclus des programmes de formation en sciences infirmières à Bella Bella. Cela représente un intérêt historique important pour les éducatrices et les écoles de sciences infirmières actuelles dans le développement de programmes culturellement adaptés et inclusifs qui reconnaissent l’impact historique de la formation des infirmières sur les relations entre les Autochtones et les colonisateurs

Human Performance Enhancement in Sports and Exercise: Nutritional Factors - “Carbohydrate Loading”
Se ha demostrado que el procedimiento dietĂ©tico nutricional conocido como "carga de carbohidratos" aumenta sustancialmente los niveles de glucĂłgeno muscular. El aumento del glucĂłgeno muscular tiene un efecto ergogĂ©nico positivo en el rendimiento del ejercicio en eventos deportivos de más de 90 minutos de duraciĂłn. Sin embargo, la eficacia del procedimiento de carga de carbohidratos es algo variable. Esta variabilidad puede atribuirse a factores que influyen en la capacidad del mĂşsculo para supercompensarse con el glucĂłgeno. Este artĂculo discute los factores y aspectos del procedimiento que se suman a la variabilidad en un intento de mejorar el Ă©xito de los deportistas (es decir, atletas) que intentan realizar el procedimiento de carga de carbohidratos y mejorar su rendimiento en el ejercicio.UY-MoUC
Fluid inclusion geothermometry of Tri-State sphalerite
Fluid inclusions in successively deposited generations of sphalerite from the Tri-State district have been examined for geothermometry as a function of time. The main stage of vug-filling sphalerite has been studied most intensively and as many as 83 fluid inclusions have been examined in a single crystal. These sphalerite crystals are commonly zoned, and their filling temperatures exhibit a general pattern of declining temperature from their cores outward, from about 135°C down to 90°C. The decline is not a steady one, but rather it is characterized by fluctuations commonly about 15-20°C. Some fluctuations have magnitudes as great as 50-60°C, with temperature peaks reaching as high as 160°C.
Earlier deposited yellow disseminated sphalerite was formed in a narrow temperature interval, 120 to 85°C, a range lower than that of the earliest main stage sphalerite. Small, reddish brown sphalerite, deposited after main stage sphalerite, appears to have formed at about the same or slightly higher temperature than the late portions of the zoned sphalerite crystals. The fluctuations in temperatures of deposition between generations of sphalerite and throughout a single period of sphalerite deposition indicate a fluctuating character of the ore-forming fluid.
The fluctuations may be the result of multipulse introduction of the ore fluid or of mixing with a cooler fluid --Abstract, page ii
