Women&#39;s Choices, Expectations and Experiences in Childbirth,&quot; 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge sociology researcher Dr. Claudia Malacrida and co-author, doctoral candidate Tiffany Boulton of the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Leeds, UK, found that, contrary to the belief that modern birthing experiences are consumer driven because women have the capacity to plan for, make decisions about and choose a particular type of birth experience, a woman&#39;s capacity to &#39;drive the machine&#39; of birth is severely limited.</p><p>&quot;In women&#39;s prenatal education, in their conversations with their friends and in the books and online media pregnant women read, there is a consistent sense that, if women simply prepare and inform themselves appropriately, they will be in a position to make the right choices when giving birth,&quot; says Malacrida.</p><p>&quot;We may think that natural birth advocates have little in common with medical practitioners when it comes to discussing women&#39;s birth choices. However, each perspective assumes women can and will make appropriate birth choices. Our study found that in practice, such choice is often illusory.&quot;</p><p><div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:350px;"><img alt="Claudia Malacrida" src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/malacrida.jpg" title="Dr. Claudia Malacrida finds that as much as women prepare and educate themselves before the birth process, they still lack control of the experience once it begins."><div class="image-caption">Dr. Claudia Malacrida finds that as much as women prepare and educate themselves before the birth process, they still lack control of the experience once it begins.</div></div></p><p>Malacrida and Boulton interviewed 22 recent mothers as part of a larger project examining the culture of birthing in southern Alberta.</p><p>Every woman they interviewed was well informed about the birthing process, had attended prenatal classes, sought out information online and read popular books or magazines about what to expect in the birthing room.</p><p>From these interviews, it was clear that all the mothers expected to make birthing choices based on the knowledge they had acquired.</p><p>&quot;In our interviews, virtually all of the mothers described hoping to achieve &#39;as natural a birth as possible&#39;, which for most meant a vaginal birth with no intervention,&quot; says Malacrida. &quot;A lot of the medical and lay discussion seems to assume that the rise in C-section rates, for example, rests with women who are &#39;too posh to push&#39;. On the contrary, much medical and popular writing positions natural birth as the ideal, responsible choice. Thus, women are given a strong message that natural is best for mom, and especially best for baby.&quot;</p><p>Many women prepared birth plans, hired doulas and attended classes on non-traditional birthing methods, all in seeking a sense of control over the birthing process and to limit medical intervention.</p><p>&quot;Once in the hospital, however, women described a cascade of intervention that began with induction or epidurals and spiraled outward,&quot; says Malacrida.</p><p>In the end, Malacrida and Boulton contend that although the majority of women plan to have as natural a birth as possible, their lived experiences differ significantly from their birth plans.</p><p>Further, the implication that women have choices in the birth experience, rather than empowering expectant mothers as effective and active consumers, creates a situation where they are instead culpable for the increasing medicalization of childbirth.</p><p>&quot;Because women are so pressured to work towards this idealized natural birth, when their hospital experiences do not work out as planned, they often blame themselves,&quot; says Malacrida. &quot;Women in our study expressed distress about failing as mothers, and not living up to their expectations, or the expectations of family and friends. The magic of birth seemed to elude them. Instead, they felt like they had let themselves and their babies down.&quot;</p><p>The paper was recently published in Health: An Interdisciplinary Journal for the Social Study of Health, Illness and Medicine.</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the June 2013 edition of the Legend.

This is an area that is especially sensitive to illnesses or injuries that can create memory loss, explains Sutherland. It's also a part of the brain that throughout adult life spontaneously creates new cells that are able to easily find their correct position in the brain's circuitry.</p> <p>The team began by killing off about half of these cells by depriving them of corticosterone, an important hormone the cells need to function, causing the rats to develop memory issues very similar to humans suffering with dementia. Through a combination of a specific protein therapy, an enriched living environment and exercise, the researchers were able to re-grow the lost brain cells and prove that the rats had regained their memory function.</p> <p>Regenerating brain cells is a problem neuroscientists have been struggling with for many years, with limited success. The challenge stems from the nature of the brain itself. "If you open up a laptop and take a look at the circuit board, every portion you look at has a sophisticated set of connections with other pieces," says Sutherland. "The brain is even more complicated."<br> <br> For more on this discovery, follow this <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/unews/report/content/next-generation" rel="nofollow">link</a>.</p> <p>Other persons honoured by Venture include U of L Honorary Degree recipients Gwyn Morgan and David Schindler.

It requires, among other things, an RCMP security clearance to access the information located within it, and has steel reinforcement built into the walls &ndash; so forget about cell phone use. Card key access is tightly controlled and someone is on-site to monitor attendance and carefully screen all notes and results that leave.</p> <p>So, with all this fuss to access, why is Abdie Kazemipur (<a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/soc/" rel="nofollow">sociology</a>) so happy? He and other approved researchers now have access to the entire Statistics Canada (<a href="http://www.statcan.gc.ca/" rel="nofollow">StatsCan</a>) database system &ndash; a new initiative that will help 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge researchers gain significant ground as they work on projects that require raw data sets normally not available to the general public.<br> <div class="image-caption-container" style="width:400px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/statscan.jpg" title="Dr. Abdie Kazemipur, (l) and graduate student Martin Russenberger (r) are the people to contact if your research project requires extensive Statistics Canada data." alt="&quot; /"><div class="image-caption">Dr. Abdie Kazemipur, (l) and graduate student Martin Russenberger (r) are the people to contact if your research project requires extensive Statistics Canada data.</div></div><br> The U of L recently flipped the 'on' switch to launch a StatsCan Research Data Centre (RDC) Branch, one of just two dozen all-access points in Canada &ndash; mostly in larger institutions &ndash; for people who are working with data provided by StatsCan for approved projects.</p> <p>U of L administration (VP-Academic, VP-Administration, and VP-Research) and the dean of <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas" rel="nofollow">Arts and Science</a> supported the $70,000 project. It also received significant input and assistance from the library, campus facilities and IT departments as the space was created.</p> <p>Kazemipur, the academic director of the U of L Research Data Centre and a sociology researcher who uses StatsCan data in his work on immigration, says the chance to access rich individual and household data in Lethbridge saves both time and money, offering an opportunity to significantly increase research productivity.</p> <p>"I would previously have to go to Calgary, and spend intense days analyzing the data," he says. "There were many limitations on my time, and on what I was able to do during the time I had."</p> <p>Kazemipur says the new centre should expand research opportunities for many faculty members in social sciences, health sciences and management who, like him, want to go deeper into their research and beyond the data available for public use.</p> <p>Local access should also be an enticement to other researchers to come to the U of L to work or conduct research, in particular the 22 research affiliates of the <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/prenticeinstitute/" rel="nofollow">Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economy</a>, which is expected to be one of the more frequent users of the facility.</p> <p>"Researchers in the Prentice Institute &ndash; more than 20 faculty, post-docs and students &ndash; are delighted to have access to micro-level data in our new Research Data Centre," says<br> Dr. Susan McDaniel, the institute's director. "Our mission is to examine population change in shifting economic environments. One of the best ways to do this is to follow individuals over time rather than compare different sets of people at two points in time."</p> <p>McDaniel says that the RDC enables researchers in one of her SSHRC-funded projects to follow Canadians at seven points of time as they move from mid-life into their older years.</p> <p>"It is really, as famous hockey player Wayne Gretzky was fond of saying, skating to where the puck will be. I am certain that having the RDC here will help us recruit new faculty and junior research chairs to work in the Prentice Institute."</p> <p>The process to gain access to the data is not as challenging is it might first sound, Kazemipur says. Projects must go through several steps, including an<br> online application to the <a href="http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca" rel="nofollow">Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council </a>(SSHRC), which triggers a request to StatsCan for access to the appropriate dataset &ndash; and that's where the security checks come in.</p> <p>Once approved, a researcher gains access to the data centre with a swipe card, and can sign in and out as needed to complete their work.</p> <p>Anyone wishing to use the centre, or who has a project they feel could benefit from access to the StatsCan data, can contact Kazemipur for more information on the process.</p> <p>Contact him at 403-329-5132 or e-mail <a href="mailto:abdie.kazemipur@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">abdie.kazemipur@uleth.ca</a>.

But the late agri-business entrepreneur and philanthropist didn't just stop there; he wanted to change the course of history altogether.<br> <br> It was an ambitious goal &ndash; and one that prompted Prentice, along with his wife Connie, to donate more than $8 million to the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge in 2006. The endowment marked the largest-single gift in the 免费福利资源在线看片's history and established the Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economy. The institute, which was officially launched in 2009, studies changes in the world population and their lasting impact on demographics, economies and societies.<br> <br> Just a short time later, the Prentice Institute has become a leading research centre, one of only a few worldwide that is focused on global population changes and the economy. What's more, the institute has attracted many external research grants and is building graduate programs, along with bringing together 20 research affiliates from across eight departments at the U of L.<br> <div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/prentice-illustration.jpg" title="From looking at how people move through life stages in different economies with different demographic structures, to questions of food security, ethnic diversity, immigration and international trade, the Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economy at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge is at the cutting edge of demographic research." alt="&quot; /"><div class="image-caption">From looking at how people move through life stages in different economies with different demographic structures, to questions of food security, ethnic diversity, immigration and international trade, the Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economy at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge is at the cutting edge of demographic research.</div></div><br> "It's magical when you get that cross-pollination of expertise," says Dr. Trevor Harrison, a U of L sociology professor who served as the Prentice Institute's interim director between 2007 and 2009.<br> <br> At the Prentice Institute, sociologists, historians, anthropologists and economists work alongside experts in such diverse fields as nursing, public health, political science and women's studies. Those researchers, in turn, create partnerships with experts across Canada and around the world. The result: global population challenges are explored from different angles and potential solutions are investigated in new ways.<br> <br> "John Prentice was a big thinker," says<br> Dr. Susan McDaniel, the institute's current director. She also holds the Prentice Research Chair in Global Population and Economy, the first endowed position of its kind at the U of L. "John was a Renaissance man who understood how things were connected."<br> <br> Indeed, many forces and factors affect &ndash; and are connected to &ndash; the global population and economy. But the links between the former and latter are not well understood. Prentice Institute researchers are advancing our understanding of this relationship and using data to verify or refute popular beliefs about demographic changes. This "myth-busting" practice can be applied to numerous situations, says McDaniel.<br> <br> "We often hear, for instance, that providing health care to an aging population will bankrupt the system," she explains. "In reality, there are much wider concerns. Medical treatments are expensive, and there is a deepening problem of poverty and the health issues associated with it."<br> <br> To that end, Prentice Institute researchers are studying various issues that appear, at first blush, to be unconnected. They include international trade, migration, aging and family size. But while the subjects may seem disparate, McDaniel says cause-and-effect relationships are at work &ndash; and they are having a major impact on the world's citizens.<br> <br> "Growing inequalities, for example, are happening in developed countries, such as Canada and the United States, and in developing countries, too. These inequalities cause health problems and lower everyone's life expectancy," says McDaniel. The process, she explains, is similar to an illness spreading through a classroom. If one unvaccinated child becomes sick, others will inevitably be affected.<br> <br> That concept of social ramifications is one in which McDaniel is well versed. An internationally recognized sociology researcher and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, her expertise includes demographic aging, generational relationships, family change and the social impacts of technology. Before joining the Prentice Institute and the U of L Department of Sociology two years ago, McDaniel was a professor of family and consumer studies at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Utah and a senior scholar at its Institute of Public and International Affairs.<br> <br> Having lived in Alberta before, McDaniel's return north of the border has helped attract other researchers to the Prentice Institute. Among them is Dr. Kathrin Komp, a post-doctoral fellow from VU 免费福利资源在线看片 Amsterdam. Other researchers, such as Drs. Harrison and Alexander Darku, who were U of L faculty members before the Prentice Institute was created, currently serve as the institute's associate directors. Their collective experience and expertise have made a significant impact on the institute.<br> <br> For example, Darku, an assistant professor of economics at the U of L, previously taught at McGill and Concordia Universities. He has also served as a consultant to the World Bank at its Washington, D.C., headquarters and has worked as an economist in Ghana. Through his association with the Prentice Institute, Darku has noticed a shift in his research interests.<br> <br> Whereas he was previously focused strictly on economic policies and international development, he now studies the interplay among international trade, migration and health. Specifically, Darku is currently looking at the growth of multinational companies in developing countries and the resulting impact on populations' eating habits. The situation, Darku has found, contributes to a "nutritional shift" within a population and can increase obesity rates.<br> <br> "The interdisciplinary nature of the Prentice Institute has brought many new dimensions to my research," says Darku.<br> <br> Harrison, meanwhile, has shared his research with new audiences; he has spoken at a number of presentations hosted by the institute. Once a visiting professor at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Alberta and Hokkai-Gakuen 免费福利资源在线看片 in Japan, Harrison was the 2010 Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in Canadian Studies at Georgia's Kennesaw State 免费福利资源在线看片. As a researcher and guest lecturer at the university, he brought a Canadian perspective to the relationship between Canada and the United States since Sept. 11.<br> <br> Today at the Prentice Institute, Harrison &ndash; like Darku &ndash; balances his research with administrative responsibilities. And it seems both areas involve big-picture thinking.<br> <br> "We're developing programs that will keep the institute moving forward. Ultimately, we're creating a research infrastructure that supports creative thinking and incubates good ideas."<br> <br> One example is a policy concept known as a guaranteed annual income (GAI). While there are many different approaches to a GAI, the initiative would essentially provide each citizen with a base sum of money. Harrison has studied this complex issue since the 1970s, and while the logistics of implementing a GAI system would be considerable, it would also offer a number of advantages. They include administrative efficiencies, the reduction or elimination of poverty and an increasingly mobile workforce that can afford to move around the country.<br> <br> GAI supplements, however, are just one of many ideas being analysed at the Prentice Institute. And it's all part of an effort to inform public and private policies that will better reflect, and keep up with, a changing Canada and world. To raise awareness of this vital work, Prentice Institute researchers participate in conferences and dialogue sessions, and contribute to articles, journals and books. Finally, there are future plans to build international partnerships with sister institutes.<br> <br> "There are many challenges that governments, corporations, education systems and individuals have to address," says McDaniel. "But once they have the information they need, they have the potential to act upon it.<br> <br> "People are hungry for knowledge. And we're training them how to look beyond myths and build a better society. It will lead to better voters, parents, consumers and caregivers."<br> <br> <strong>What can we learn from other countries with regard to population aging and social policy?</strong><br> <br> Population aging and economic challenges have raised questions about how social policy regimes are, or will be, affected in various types of economies. Some research indicates a downward convergence across countries is inevitable as global economic and demographic pressures work to bring greater homogeneity to social policies. Other studies suggest that demographic and economic pressures can actually have stimulating effects on social policies.<br> <br> To address these issues, Prentice Institute researchers are investigating Japan, which has experienced population aging and economic challenges simultaneously. Scholars are analysing changing relations among demographics, economics and social policy. They ask what opportunities can be discerned from the experience of Japan for re-creation of social policy regimes elsewhere in the 21st century. Ultimately, researchers will widen the comparative lens to include other Asian and developed countries. The findings from this crucial research will guide policy-makers in various countries facing similar challenges.<br> <br> <strong>Is there a "Canadian exceptionalism" in issues related to immigration and diversity?</strong><br> <br> The rapid rise in ethnic diversity in immigrant-receiving countries has resulted in a general anti-diversity, anti-multiculturalism sentiment. Some studies indicate that a generalized trust is more difficult to foster in a multicultural society, resulting in a loss of sense of community and togetherness. However, other research suggests that Canada might be immune from these largely European trends.<br> <br> At the Prentice Institute, researchers are investigating the extent of, and the reasons for, this Canadian exceptionalism. A clearer understanding of the differences among ethno-racial groups in terms of labour-market integration and social capital could make a significant difference in the lives of Canadians and the global community.<br> <br> <strong>To what extent is population, at root, a problem with respect to food security?</strong><br> <br> Food is a basic resource essential for human survival. It is estimated that at the end of 2009, more than one billion of the world's population did not have adequate food to meet basic nutritional needs. As the most populous country in the world, China is constantly challenged in providing food for its citizens. Given the sheer size and strategic prominence of China, food security there is a global concern.<br> <br> As leaders of an international team, researchers at the Prentice Institute are examining the stress points related to food security in various regions in China. The set of indicators of food security and rural development they develop will be an important assessment tool in China and around the world.<br> <br> <strong>How can we achieve economic equality in developing countries?</strong><br> <br> Throughout most of human history, the conditions of human life have varied from difficult to tolerable, from starvation to subsistence. In some parts of the developing world, these conditions have not changed much, while in others, progress has been made. Disparities in the distribution of economic assets and income exist in a wide range of societies and their nature and cause are issues our world must address.<br> <br> Researchers at the Prentice Institute are studying how international trade can lead to growth and the distribution of income, especially in developing countries. Another crucial line of research focuses on the relationship between business cycles, poverty and income inequalities.<br> <br> <strong>How will social policy address our aging population?</strong><br> <br> Wayne Gretzky is credited with saying, "You must skate to where the puck will be." In contemplating the future of aging populations, policy often skates instead to where the puck is now. The presumption is that by studying those who are older now, we can understand those who will be older in the future. But... the older of tomorrow will be very different, as will the socio-economic contexts in which they live.<br> <br> As leaders of a Canada/U.S. multidisciplinary team, Prentice Institute researchers are studying how people in mid-life in Canada and the U.S. are aging in terms of health and overall well-being. How they help (or not) younger and older relatives now and as they age, and how they anticipate their later years relative to their older relatives now and their younger relatives as they reach their later years, are two of the important questions being addressed. These studies will yield a wealth of information that is critical to addressing policy and family needs in the future.<br> <br> <em><strong>This story first appeared in SAM Magazine.
