The health of Indigenous peoples across Canada continues to be significantly impacted by experiences of racism when seeking healthcare. Implementing cultural safety was identified by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada as a critical way to mitigate these negative health consequences. This systematic review aims to outline cultural safety and its associated derivatives in academia, what cultural safety is, and why it is important in the context of indigenous healthcare. A systematic search of PubMed was carried out refining searches to Canadian contexts, published after December of 2015, and limited to peer-reviewed reviews and systematic reviews. A thematic review of the articles identified four central ideas of importance regarding the information presented in the papers; definitions of cultural safety and associated derivatives, the importance of including culture in healthcare, recommendations to healthcare settings, and evaluation methods of cultural safety initiatives. It is clear that there is a need for an explicit and consistent definition of cultural safety with the inclusion of Indigenous peoples in the creation of this definition. To determine effectiveness, gaps and areas for improvement, evaluation methods inclusive of the unique Indigenous worldviews are imperative to develop culturally safe healthcare practices and institutions.

The article focuses on the skill competence that physical education teachers should have. According to Standard 2 of the National Standards for Physical Education Teacher Education, teachers must be physical education individuals with knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate movement performance and health-enhancing fitness. Ways to prepare undergraduate students for skill competence are discussed.

The trimetallic nitride template (TNT) approach has been successfully utilized to prepare the new endohedral Lu(3)N@C(80). Well-ordered crystals of Lu(3)N@C(80).5 (o-xylene) and Sc(3)N@C(80).5 (o-xylene) form upon cooling of o-xylene solutions of these endohedrals and they are isomorphous. Although the positions of the fullerene cage (which is fully ordered and located at a crystallographic center of symmetry) and the o-xylene molecules are nearly identical in these two structures, the positioning of the metal ions in the two crystals differ in significant ways. However, the expected difference in sizes of lutetium and scandium does not affect the dimensions of the C(80) cage. Nevertheless, the positions of the metal atoms do produce a slight outward dislocation of the immediately adjacent carbon atoms.
