  • Zahra Komeilian
    i A Focused Ethnography of Iranian Canadian Women’s Experiences of Diabetes by Zahra Komeilian A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Nursing University of Alberta © Zahra Komeilian, 2016 ii ABSTRACT Living with diabetes is challenging. Achieving optimal blood sugar balance involves major lifestyle choices and changes that can be difficult to sustain over time. When a woman with diabetes immigrates to a new country with very different social and cultural customs, religion, values, norms, and expectations, effective diabetes self-care becomes even more complex. Despite a growing number of Iranian immigrants in Canada, there is a paucity of empirical research on how Iranian Canadian women integrate their diabetes with their original and new cultural and social habits. The purpose of this qualitative focused ethnography study was to explore the experiences of Iranian Canadian women living with type II diabetes. Transition Theory and Shifting Perspective Model formed the study’s conceptual framework to explore and understand the nature, conditions, and processes of these women’s health-illness transitions associated with diabetes and how immigration influenced their diabetes transitions. 15 women were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling at a local Iranian community center in a large Western Canadian city. Most women were aged 42 to 48 years and were diagnosed 3–17 years prior to my study, the majority being diagnosed with diabetes in Iran. They arrived in Canada 3-25 years ago. Four women were fluent in English and the rest understood English to some degree. Data collection consisted of 21 individual semi-structured interviews conducted in Farsi.

  • Cheap Eats Column in the Boston Globe Food Section Every Wednesday So Popular
    Copyright © 2012 by The Boston Globe All rights reserved under the Pan-American and International Copyright Conventions. This book may not be reproduced in whole or in part, in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, or by any information storage and retrieval system now known or hereafter invented, without written permission from the publisher. ISBN 978-0-9837815-8-5 Introduction There are nights you feel like a splurge. And there are nights you just want fast, delicious, and, most of all, cheap food. This e-book is for those nights. And that's what makes the Cheap Eats column in the Boston Globe Food section every Wednesday so popular. There are plenty of occasions to celebrate with a night on the town, but for casual dining week in and week out, with groups of friends, family, or house guests, you want a place where the mood is relaxed, the quality is high, and the bill is reasonable. Thankfully, we live in a mecca for cheap dining, partly because of the vast Greater Boston student population and partly because of our inherent frugality. So how exactly do we define Cheap Eats? Every item on the menu must be under $20, with most under $18. That should appeal to anyone out to discover new cuisines. It's reasonable to hope for a tab of less than $50 for two. These 40 spots include fine pizza (we won't let you down), Persian dishes, Dominican specialties, good sushi, an out-of-the-way Chinese take-out, aromatic Vietnamese pho, Sri Lankan food, Moroccan couscous, succulent Greek kebabs, Mexican burritos, and more.

  • Asia Sorting Mats
    Countries of the World Sorting Mats Asia Created by: Randi Smith Teacher Directions Asian Sorting Mats These sorting mats are great for approximately 3rd-9th graders to learn about and/or review their knowledge of countries. Print on card stock, slide sorting mats and answer keys into page protectors and cut apart sorting cards. You may laminate if desired. Have students lay out five mats and the corresponding cards around the mats. Then, have them use their knowledge and critical thinking skills to match the cards to the sorting mats. They may need to research some of the answers. For younger children, you may choose not to lay out some of the cards, such as government structure. The answer key is included to allow students to self-check their work after completing the sorting mats. Note: When not in use, I store cards in plastic bags and then slide the cards, mats, and answer keys into a slot of an expandable folder that holds all of our sorting mats. ©2020 Randi Smith www.peanutbutterfishlessons.com Additional Activities 1. Find each country on a globe or world map. 2. Look up videos of people speaking the languages of the different countries. 3. Look up recipes for some of the foods and make them! 4. Lay the countries out in a sequential row or column based upon their areas or their populations. (You many want to use all 10 countries for this.) 5. Calculate the population density of each country by dividing the number of people by the area. The answer will be reported in “people per square mile”.
