Under Assault
Authors: Cook Michael
Published: June 2023

For a considerable period of time, the Canada Council had been anxious to invest fairly heavily in Newfoundland theatre. Various proposals were put forward to elicit Council funds and equivalent matching grants from government. None were effective until finally the Newfoundland Theatre Company was formed. This company comprises three separate groups joined together in uneasy wedlock for the purposes of funding, and some interchange of facilities and personnel. Perhaps the best known of the trio is CODCO, a talented and dynamic group whose speciality is satire and comedy. Both of their shows, Cod on a Stick and Sickness, Death and Beyond the Grave were performed successfully here and in Toronto. Their impetus is towards the development of their individual talents, which are considerable, and they are not necessarily committed to the province itself. Significantly, they did not perform the second show outside of St. John’s, which limited their exposure and might affect their survival, for the greatest impact occurs beyond the city, in the neglected bays, where audience involvement and participation is a way of life.
Theatre/Drama Index
Authors: Schlosser Anatol
Published: June 2023

One is always hard pressed to keep up with the latest articles, reviews and published plays that appear in theatre periodicals. For the serious practitioner, there is also the problem of finding out what-was-said-where and who-said-it. Most theatre periodicals, of course, do have an index but there are so many periodicals that unless you have a friendly neighbourhood fine arts librarian to order all of them for you, it becomes a matter of finances and storage logistics, not to mention the time needed to read all of them. Most of us content ourselves with a few well chosen, time tested favourites, and hope that perchance we will hear of an interesting article in another, and then rush out to find a copy.
Psychoanalyzing the Critic
Authors: Weissman Philip
Published: June 2023

Creative imagination in the theatre is not confined to only those who originate, direct and perform. Perhaps the most neglected member of the creative world has been the audience for whose consumption the work of art has always been intended. Understandably, the audience must be endowed with some form of creative capacities which lead to aesthetic responses to an artistic communication. The members of any given audience are so numerous and therefore so varied in their individual make-up that the aesthetic endowments of any single member selected at random would not adequately describe the remainder of the group.
Nathan Cohen: In Retrospect
Authors: McCaughna David
Published: June 2023

Nathan Cohen, drama critic for the Toronto Star from 1959 until his death in 1971, held that he was Canada’s only genuine drama critic. “All the rest.” he said, “are reviewers.” He was famous for his harsh reviews and took a delight in bringing the pompous and pretentious under his stern scrutiny. Frequently, his reviews raised arguments and tempers. He was detested in some quarters, even burnt in effigy. But he was well-known on an international level and respected abroad. Following his death, the Star editorialized that Cohen “probably did more than anyone else to raise the level of drama criticism in Canada above the blandly parochial and provincial.” Richard Burton, after recovering from Cohen’s devastating appraisal of his Hamlet, called him “the only brilliant critic in North America.” The editor of Variety ranked him among the five best drama critics in the world alongside Kenneth Tynan and Walter Kerr. New York press agent Harvey Sabinson said, “Nathan was one of the most erudite theatre critics in the world. I know that some people in the theatre disliked him and others considered Cohen an enemy of the theatre, but I didn’t. What Cohen wanted out of the theatre was excellence and sometimes the theatre disappointed him.”
Requiem for an Unborn Profession
Authors: Hay Peter
Published: June 2023

The name is a conversation piece. At least until you have made or listened to the puns and attempts at witticism and are left to the inevitable question: “But what does a dramaturge do?” Like Pontius Pilate, they rarely stay awake for the answer. The word has perfectly pure descent on both sides from the Greek, just like chiropractor. A dramaturge works with drama, as the potter does with clay. In French it commonly denotes a playwright, which, by the way, has exactly the same derivation in English and nothing to do with writing. So much for pedantry.
Brecht as Critic
Authors: Schumacher Ernst , Wagner Anton
Published: June 2023

Brecht began his work in the theatre not as a playwright but as a critic. In 1919 and 1920, before any of his plays had reached the stage, his critiques of the Augsburg Sprechtheater appeared in the Augsburg Volkswillen, the organ of the independent German Social Democratic Party. He reviewed performances of Ibsen’s Ghosts, Schmidtbonn’s The Count of Gleichen, Kaiser’s Gas, Schiller’s Don Carlos, Love and Intrigue and The Robbers, Strindberg’s Crimes and Crimes, Hebbel’s Judith, Goetne’s Tasso, Hauptmann’s Rose Bernd and Shaw’s Pygmalion as well as farces like Father Martin and Old Heidelberg presented by the Styre Volkstheater and the boulevard farce The Requisition which he found particularly noteworthy as “vital, non-literary theatre.”
The Festivals in Flux
Authors: Rubin Don
Published: June 2023

Author’s note: The following is offered not so much as a review in the strict sense of the term but as an impression left after a summer of festival-going. The productions referred to — or. in some cases, not referred to — include Charlottetown’s Kronborg 1582, Johnny Belinda and Anne of Green Gables; Festival Lennoxville’s Hunting Stuart, Jacob’s Wake, and Jubalay; the Shaw Festival’s Pygmalion, Caesar and Cleopatra, Leaven of Malice, The First Night of Pygmalion and G.K.C.; and the Stratford Festival’s mainstage productions of St. Joan, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure and Trumpets and Drums; its Avon productions of Comedy of Errors, Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Crucible and its Third Stage presentations of Fellowship, Oscar Remembered and The Importance of Being Earnest. Apologies are offered in advance for the lack of specificity usually associated with such review pieces.
Edmonton Update
Authors: Foord Isabelle
Published: June 2023

Where there’s fuel there’s fire and in Edmonton, our theatrical winters are getting milder. If the city’s swagger is still a little to the right, no matter. Theatre is alive and thriving here. The reasons? Timing probably, coupled with an economic boom and an entertainment-hungry populace wearied from being on the cultural and geographic lunatic fringes of the world. And though opportunities abound, the general artistic climate is nevertheless still one of caution and respectability.
Inside/Outside
Authors: Friedlander Mira
Published: June 2023

In 1972, a number of young Ontario actors were involved in taking a production of George Ryga’s The Ecstasy of Rita Joe to the Vanier Institute for Women in Brampton. We were part of that group and the experience stayed with us for many reasons. One was the honesty of response that we received. Honesty because prison audiences have not yet been socialized to the theatre and the prisoners, suspicious of do-gooders from the outside, speak their minds quite freely. This past summer, a number of us got together again and created a company whose sole activity was to go back to those prisons and correctional institutions and try to provide as honest a theatrical experience for them as we could. We called the company Inside/Outside and when the going seemed foggy — as it often did — we remembered the gut reaction to Ryga’s play and that kept us going.
Nationalism and Drama
Authors: Denison Merrill
Published: June 2023

I find writing about the Canadian theatre or drama depressingly like discussing the art of dinghy sailing among the bedouins. There is so little to be said on the subject save to point why there is none. Depending on one’s expository habits this can be done tersely, as in the case of the bedouins, by saying “there are no dinghys because there is no water,” or at appalling and splendid length by re-examining the geology of the Mediterranean basin and recalling all the flood-mythology one can remember. The same procedure applies to Canadian dramatic writing. One may simply say “There is no Canadian theatre, and it is impossible to believe there ever will be one,” or one may examine, at length, the soil conditions under which a theatre flowers, and establish, one by one, the reasons for its absence from this country. True, there are exceptions. Just as there must be the occasional pond or river on which some bedouin has launched a raft and hoisted a sail, so there have been Canadian plays. But the generality holds good. The exceptions are acknowledged to protect oneself from pointless future argument.
Contemporary Poland
Authors: Szydlowski Roman
Published: June 2023

As indicated previously on these pages, 1974 in Poland was the year of the country’s classical dramatists, above all, the year of Wyspianski. The current year is in a way even more exciting for it seems to be a celebration of Poland’s contemporary dramatists.
Brook in Paris
Authors: Barnieh Zina Rosso
Published: June 2023

When English director Peter Brook launched his International Centre for Theatre Research (C.I.R.T.) in Paris in 1970 with the financial support of many international groups and foundations, he pointed out that the funding agencies were “trusting us as they would a research worker, and strictly speaking we don’t have to show an actual product.” It was an economic freedom rarely known in the west and a challenge that Brook was determined to live up to.
Contemporaty Stage Design U.S.A.
Authors: Lord William
Published: June 2023

Contemporary Stage Design U.S.A. is a catalogue of the current touring exhibition of the International Theatre Institute of the United States. The exhibition and the catalogue come as a result of two shocks: the first in 1967 in Prague when the Quadrennial of world-wide scene design opened without any participation from the United States; the second. four years later, at the second Prague Quadrennial which also opened without any designers from the United States. When the American designers who had attended the Quadrennial returned to New York. they went to the ITI (US and demanded that something be done about the lack of U.S. participation. The challenge was accepted on the condition that the American scenic artists take the lead in planning, judging. and launching the project. Although first aimed only at participation in the Third Prague in 1975. their efforts expanded into a longer tour. It opened at the Library and Museum of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. travelled on to the Kennedy Center. moves on to Prague for November ’75. then to the National Theatre in London and returns to the U.S. for a two year tour.
Merce Cunningham, Work 1961-1973
Authors: Schlosser Anatol
Published: June 2023

Dance, over the past 50 years, has moved closer to theatre than theatre has moved towards dance. One need only glance at the excit ing theatre alive in the works of Martha Graham, the son et lumiere theatricality of Alwin Nikolais, or the influence of commedia and television soap opera in the creations of Toronto-born James Cunningham. To argue the point even further, I recently heard ofa Toronto dancer who was denied a Canada Council grant because her work was considered to be too much like theatre.
An Unrequited Passion
Authors: Hay Peter
Published: June 2023

There are not many writers whose names are household words in Canada. I doubt if any playwrights are. Certainly Beverley Simons is not among them. The reasons lie outside of her writing and are typical of this country. She and her work are not.
The Strange Unhappy Life Of Crabdance
Authors: Black Malcolm
Published: June 2023

Crabdance was written during 1964 and 1968. Beverley Simons received a grant from the Canada Council to engage a person to take care of her young family during the day so that she could do her work. This grant was unusual, although, as one of her referees, I naturally applauded the Council’s wisdom in giving it. But it did cause a furor in Vancouver; it even became the subject of a cartoon by Norris in the Vancouver Sun, in which a suburban lady was depicted luxuriating on her porch, enjoying the peace of having someone else take care of her children.
The West Show
Authors: Melnyk George
Published: June 2023

When Toronto’s Theatre Passe Muraille sets out in search of new material for its rapidly growing body of documentary dramas, the company has the word “respect” as one of its keynotes. Respect for each place they visit. Respect for the people in each place. Respect for the folklore, memories and reality of each locale. It is this respect that, as much as anything else, is the basis of both the company’s popularity and its populism. It was certainly a keynote for Passe Muraille’s recent work in Saskatchewan.
Early Shaw
Authors: Edwards Murray
Published: June 2023

Today, Shaw is part of the “establishment” and, in Canada, shares with Shakespeare a starring role in the festival business. His plays are popular and profitable. But it wasn’t always that way, even for the great G.B.S. Most of us know of the early years when Shaw was continually thumped by the critics and harassed by the police and censor, but I imagine that there are few who can recall the special treatment he received at the hands of the Canadian critic and theatregoer. While Shaw was busy attacking and counter-attacking his enemies, and relishing the uproar his plays were creating in the English-speaking world, Canadians, by and large were ignoring him. He was considered an incompetent playwright and an insignificant thinker. As one of our would-be playwrights, Wilfred Campbell put it when condemning Shaw for his attack on Shakespeare: “It might be as easy to compare the author of Man and Superman criticizing Shakespeare to a fly buzzing at a mountain, or to a pigmy tilting with a titan, and so leave him to posterity.”1 He was for Campbell and most other Canadians who expressed themselves in print, “fundamentally trivial.”
Canada’s Workers’ Theatre
Authors: Souchotte Sandra
Published: June 2023

Searching for an aesthetic theory in Canadian theatre history is an even more nebulous task than defining a national identity. Certainly there is no through line or continuum of thought, any more than there is a direct progression of theatrical activity. And if one was to affix a symbolic animal to Canadian theatre history, one would have to scorn the industriously democratic beaver who has helped to shape the placid, toothy and banal smile of our national image. Rather the socializing rabbit, leaping and bounding in all directions and producing little pockets of prolific activity, would be a more fitting electorate to the Canadian menagerie. The rabbit’s indiscriminate creativity might also suggest a valuable lesson to the kind of higgledy-piggledy proliferation of theatre evident in the last five to ten years. For we seem to have a burgeoning, hoppity-hop theatre society with everyone disclaiming support for the entire, incestuously related family. Sex in Canadian theatre, though, has generally been banned if overt (I Love You Baby Blue) or tittered about if discreet (Spring Thaw, somehow implying wilt down rather than spring up). So in the true Canadian spirit we must turn to more serious analysis to find what is legitimate in Canadian theatre — especially since our only genuine dramatic ideology has come from seriously committed, or at least politically astute, theatre groups.
Playwriting in Israel
Authors: Kohansky Mendel
Published: June 2023

The past two seasons in Israel have seen an outcropping of local plays which both in quantity and quality exceed everything the Israeli theatre had experienced until then. All, or almost all, of it is due to the efforts of one company, the Haifa Municipal Theatre which started, about five years ago, on a systematic policy of developing playwriting talent, when Oded Kotler, a brilliant young actor and director took over the company’s artistic direction. The results triumphantly proved right those who had for years been arguing that theatrical companies — not prizes — produce playwrights.
Les Belles Soeurs
Authors: Ellenwood Ray
Published: June 2023

Published plays exist in a nebulous world between book and boards. Once in print, they come under a different kind of serutiny than a purely theatrical one. The production of Michel Tremblay’s plays in English has been important for Canadian Theatre. no one would deny that, but we can still ask ourselves. once we have the English text in hand. whether or not they work as literature. in this case as literary translation. Is a script just dramatic action in potentia or do the words really count?
A Simons’ Casebook
Authors: Rubin Don
Published: June 2023

Beverley Simons is, without a doubt, Canada’s most ignored, important writer. Or, on the other hand, she may be Canada’s most important, ignored writer. Whatever one’s choice of words, though, the fact is that Ms. Simons’ dramatic work demands to be taken seriously and, even more, deserves to be taken seriously. Her full-length play Crabdance is perhaps the finest play yet written in this country. Her monologue Preparing is a minor masterpiece. But Ms. Simons’ work is not generally known. Except for a handful of attempts at Crabdance in the last five years — once each in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Halifax — her work is basically unproduced by Canada’s professional theatre companies while the works of lesser and less-difficult writers are staged season after season. It will come as little surprise to any of us in this regard that the most produced playwright in Canada during 1974 was Neil Simon.
Fighting disinformation with artificial intelligence: fundamentals, advances and challenges

Internet and social media have revolutionised the way news is distributed and consumed. However, the constant flow of massive amounts of content has made it difficult to discern between truth and falsehood, especially in online platforms plagued with malicious actors who create and spread harmful stories. Debunking disinformation is costly, which has put artificial intelligence (AI) and, more specifically, machine learning (ML) in the spotlight as a solution to this problem. This work revises recent literature on AI and ML techniques to combat disinformation, ranging from automatic classification to feature extraction, as well as their role in creating realistic synthetic content. We conclude that ML advances have been mainly focused on automatic classification and scarcely adopted outside research labs due to their dependence on limited-scope datasets. Therefore, research efforts should be redirected towards developing AI-based systems that are reliable and trustworthy in supporting humans in early disinformation detection instead of fully automated solutions.
İSTİHDAM VE İŞSİZLİK KONULARINA YAKLAŞIM
Authors: QASIMOV Cavadxan
Published: June 2023

Makalede istihdam ve işsizlik kavramlarının bilimsel-teorik öneminden dolayı güncelliğini koruduğuna değinilmiştir. Bu kavram, insan toplumunun var olduğu dönemlerde gerçek etkinliğin itici bir unsuru olarak kendini göstermiş ve daha deneysel bir öz kazanmıştır. İstihdam ve işsizliğin iktisat biliminin ve diğer sosyal araştırmaların merkezinde yer alan bir kavram olduğu ve çoğu ülkenin ulusal ekonomilerinin ilgili düzenleyici mekanizmaları tarafından düzenlendiği gösterilmiştir. Dolayısıyla istihdam aynı zamanda makroekonomik süreçlerin stratejik bir tezahürü olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İstihdamın bir yandan işgücü kaynaklarının amaçlı kullanımının sonucu olduğu, diğer yandan da belirli çalışma alışkanlıkları ile üretim araçlarının cazibesi olduğu savunulmaktadır. İşsizlik, işgücünün seferber edilememesi demektir. Doğal olarak burada ilgili mevzuata özgü faaliyet organizasyonu esas alınmalıdır. İstihdam ve işsizlik kavramları tüm yönleriyle her dönemde ülkelerin ulusal ekonomik önceliklerinin çok önemli yönlerini oluşturmaktadır. Yukarıdakilerden hareketle istihdam ve işsizlik araştırmalarının yapılması uygun görülmüştür.
SOSYAL AFETLER SAVAŞ VE GÖÇ: KARABAĞ (AZERBAYCAN) ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: ATAKİSHİYEV Famil , BÜYÜKSARAÇ Aydın
Published: June 2023

Milyonlarca insanın zorla yeniden yerleştirilmesi sorunlarının modern dünyanın en akut sorunları arasında yer almaktadır. Bir sosyal afet türü olan göç, günümüz dünyasının ve bulunduğumuz coğrafyanın en önemli sorunlarındandır. Bu çalışmada örnek olarak, Karabağ kullanılmıştır. Karabağ’da, Ermeniler tarafından özellikle 1923'ten beri süren sistemli olarak göçe zorlanan Azeri halkının yaşadığı ekonomik, sosyal, kültürel vb durumlar hakkında bir anket çerçevesinde inceleme yapılmıştır. İşgal edilmiş bölgelerin, terör örgütlerinin yaşam, barınma ve illegal faaliyetleri için kullanılması tüm bölgeyi tehdit etmektedir. Göçe zorlanmış insanların yaşadıkları zorluklar ve geçen zaman içinde yaşamsal kayıpları çalışmanın içeriğinde sunulmuştur. İşgal edilmiş bu bölgelerin terör örgütlerinin yaşam, barınma ve illegal faaliyetleri için kullanılması tüm bölgeyi tehdit etmektedir. İşgalden kurtulmuş bölgelerin gerçek sahiplerine verilmesi gerekmektedir. Göçmen durumuna düşmüş bu insanlara geri dönüşleri için gerekli imkânlar sağlanmalıdır. Yerleşecekleri yerlerde imar, altyapı çalışmaları yapılmalı, modern ihtiyaçlara cevap verebilecek yapılar tesis edilmediler. Kendi içinde büyük ilgi uyandıran göç sorununun Karabağ örneğinde analizi, tüm modern dünya topluluğunun dinamiklerini tüm karmaşıklığı ve çeşitliliğiyle göz önünde bulundurarak “kesişen” bir kaynak rolü olarak verimli olabilir. Göç sorunları, kendisi de farklı bir insan uygarlığına “göç” halinde olan modern toplumun birçok “acı” noktasına yol açmaktadır.
İSTANBUL, MADRİD VE LONDRA SALDIRILARI SONRASINDA ULUSLARARASI ARENADA TERÖR ALGISI
Authors: DOĞAN Ramazan Fatih
Published: June 2023

Bu makalede terörizm ve etkileri incelenecektir. Halihazırda dünya gündeminin en önemli konusu olarak görülen terör, devletlerin ulusal güvenlik politikaları arasında ilk sırada yer almaktadır. Öncelikle terörizm ve terörizmin dünyadaki etkileri anlatılacaktır. Özellikle Londra, Madrid ve İstanbul saldırıları ve arka planları incelenmiştir. Globalleşen dünyada sıcak savaşlar yerini taşeron firma benzeri terörist grupların devletlere ani eylemlerde bulunmasıyla farklı bir boyuta taşınmış bulunmaktadır. Bu tabiki her devletin birlikte çalıştığı bir terör örgütü var anlamında değildir ancak terör eylemlerinin şekil ve zamanlamalarına baktığımızda da; politik, stratejik vb. zamanlamaları dikkat çekmektedir. Dolayısıyla da her devlet yaptığı eylemlerinde uluslararası arenaya karşı sorumluluk taşımakta ve taşımalıdır. Aksi takdirde; tepki amaçlı gerçekleştirilen her terör eyleminde masum,savunmasız insanlar zarar görmektedir. Günümüzde devletler terörün tanımı konusunda ortak bir kavram üzerinde anlaşamamaktadırlar. Öte yandan terörizmin en önemli özelliği, kurumsal bir rejim olan demokrasiyi yıkmaktır. Son olarak küresel dünyada terör suçlarıyla mücadele konusunda yaşananlar bize güvenlik güçlerinin durumunun çok önemli bir durum olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda terörle mücadelede ana ilkeler, hukuk, demokrasi ve insan hakları olarak esas alındığında çözüme yaklaşılabilecektir. Aksi sert etkileşimler, fizik kanununa göre de olduğu gibi sert tepkilerin devamına neden olacaktır. Ayrıca terör saldırıları hakkında yapılan yayınlarda, medyaya da çok önemli rol düşmektedir. Paylaşılan görüntüler, teröristlerin amaçladıkları korku yayma ve propagandalarına hizmet edecek nitelikte olmamalıdır. Güvenlik stratejileri bağlamında medya kapsamında da uluslararası işbirliği ayrı bir önem arz etmektedir.

Published: June 2023

Monopol olarak adlandırılan aksak rekabet piyasaları birçok türüyle gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan tüm ekonomilerde görülmektedir. Rekabeti bozucu bu oluşumların önüne geçmek ve ekonomik yapı içerisinde var olanların ise ekonomiye verdileri veya muhtemel politika yapıcıların öncelikli görevlerinden biridir. Serbest piyasa ekonomisinde kaynakların etkin bir şekilde dağılımı istikrarlı ve güçlü bir ekonominin çekirdeğini oluşturur. Gıda ve tarım üretiminde de istikrarlı ve verimli büyüme rekabet koşullarının sağlıklı işlemesine bağlıdır. Yeterli üretimin sağlanamamasında yanlış politikalar etkili olmaktadır. Sınırlı üretim, pazarlama aşamasında rekabet sürecinin aksaması ile birleşince fahiş fiyatlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kamu sektörü bu sorunla mücadele etmek için üretimden tüketime geçen süreçte çeşitli tedbirler alır. Bu çalışmada monopol piyasalarının oluşumları piyasa başarısızlıkları temelinde ortaya konulmaya çalışılarak monopolün piyasa gücünün nasıl kırılabileceği teorik olarak ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Son dönemde Türkiye’de beş büyük markete kartel cezası kesilmesi de bu bağlamda incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak monopolün piyasa gücünü kırmada kullanılan politikaların ekonominin dinamiklerine uygun ve sektörel olarak iyi belirlenmesi, monopolü önlemeye yönelik en etkin politika olduğunu apaçık ortaya koymuştur. Aynı zamanda kamu sektörünün fahiş fiyatlarla mücadelesinin tarımsal üretimin teşviği ve planlanması ile daha başarılı olabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.

Use of Earplugs and Eye Masks in Patients with Sleep Disorders in the ICU: Systematic Review
Authors: Saleha Triya Yestika , Cahyati Yanti , Triguna Yudi
Published: June 2023

The stimuli that can come from the care environment and the development of the disease influence the quality of sleep of patients in intensive care because they can reduce the secretion of melatonin. In contrast, the noise and excessive lighting of the ward will influence a circadian rhythm, impacting parturient disorders (sleep disorders). Therefore, nursing interventions to improve normal circadian rhythms are needed to improve the patient's sleep quality. Wearing earplugs and eye masks is an important and logical way to prevent awakening from sleep caused by external stimuli. This research aimed to determine the effect of ear plugs and eye masks on sleep quality in patients in the intensive care room. The method used is the literature review. This article was taken from Google Scholar for the period 2014–2022. The search and selection procedure based on PRISMA led to the analysis of 20 articles. Results: Based on the analytical results of 20 articles, show that there is an effect of applying ear plugs and eye masks to patients with sleep disorders in the intensive care room. The author recommends the implementation of ear plugs and eye masks in ICU sleep disorder patients because earplugs reduce noise and eye masks function as eye masks so that the light does not directly hit the eyes to improve the quality of sleep in patients in Intensive Care Unit rooms.

Background: Antioxidants are substances that can reduce free radicals to protect the body's biological systems from adverse effects arising from processes or reactions that cause excess oxidants. Kedondong leaves (Spondias dulcis Forst.) contain flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which have the potential to act as antioxidants. Objective: To determine the antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate and 95% ethanol extracts from kedondong leaves. Methods: The antioxidant activity was tested using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method, a free radical stable in an aqueous solution. Each extract was tested for its antioxidant activity with a comparison compound, vitamin C, using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results of the antioxidant activity test revealed the IC50 (inhibitory concentration) value, namely the concentration of antioxidant compounds capable of inhibiting DPPH free radical activity by 50%. Result: The ethyl acetate extract has weak antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 194.123 ppm, the 95% ethanol extract has very weak antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 553.3694 ppm, and vitamin C, as a comparison, has very strong antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 4.7805 ppm. Conclusion: Kedondong leaves have potential antioxidant activity but are very small.

The study aimed to compare the views of college principals and teachers regarding the various administrative problems faced by principals and how these problems affect their job. By using stratified random sampling technique 28 college principals and 140 faculty members were randomly selected from the six districts. A self-made validated questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. The Cronbach’s alpha values for administrative problems and job performanc were 0.73 and 0.85 respectively. Study results showed that both the parties have similar perceptions about the administrative problems and job performance of college principals. Both respondents agreed that due to massive administrative problems, college principals may not be able to achieve vision and mission of the college. It was recommended that providing capacity building and continuous professional development opportunities may be worthwhile strategies for improving the administrative roles of principals.
Exploring the World of Artificial Intelligence: The Perception of the University Students about ChatGPT for Academic Purpose
Authors: Imran Atika A. , Lashari Ajab Ali
Published: June 2023

The study aims to explore the impact of ChatGPT on the writing skills of undergraduate students. This is a qualitative study in which 24 randomly selected students from two private sector universities in Karachi were interviewed and analyzed. The sample size was small but diversified, which was comprised of male and female BS (final year) students from humanities and sciences backgrounds.The data was classified into four categories to show different levels of responses from positive to negative. The result showed a mixed trend in which the majority of students were of the opinion that ChatGPT hinders creative writing, whereas the other group, was of the opinion that it is beneficial if used but under proper supervision / controlled conditions. The responses seem quite reasonable because ChatGPT is still in its infancy stage and may take some time to fully understand its technical aspects. However, more in-depth studies are required for its effective application in different academic areas.
An Investigation of India's and Pakistan's Legal Systems through the Lens of Rule of Law
Authors: Nadeem Saadat Ali , Habib Rao Imran , Din Malik Zia-ud-
Published: June 2023

The rule of law furthers the goals of nationhood and peace throughout developmental processes. It's the bedrock of a free society, and democratic values are nothing more than a buzzword if the courts aren't entirely independent and the legislature and president don't treat them with the respect they deserve. Respect and autonomy thrive when one state institution may rein in the authority of another state institution (a phenomenon known as "horizontal accountability"). The principle of separation of powers among governmental authorities is essential to the rule of law. This paper will compare the rule of law in India and Pakistan, with a particular emphasis on the role of the judiciary in each country's legal system. It will also investigate the facts surrounding the question of whether or not governmental powers are constrained when it comes to protecting citizens' basic liberties. At the same time, the effects of a purely hypothetical version of the rule of law on its observance will be examined. The study will also compare and contrast the two nations' levels of representative government and the ease with which citizens may obtain civil justice.

In an important way, this study investigates various aspects of community development and social support among participants in computer technology-enhanced distance education programs. The current analysis focuses on the characteristics that define communities and how students build and maintain them. Drawing on a series of interviews with 17 students, the study highlights the importance of community and its contribution to supporting them. This process is very important in developing a sense of community among students. Students derive satisfaction from the temporal intimacy of live lectures and the associated whisper facility for socializing in Web Relay Chat. They also exploited the near-simultaneous use of email and the timing of assignment submissions to subtly initiate email exchanges among themselves, as observed in the study. Overall, the interviews conducted in the study indicated that a strong sense of community benefits both individuals and programs, supporting educators' efforts to create such communities for online learners.

Due to the restriction of "Western consciousness", structural contradictions in the spatial distribution, poor interference in special policies etc., "Middle and Western Higher Education" is an important concept under the triple incentives of social cognition, technical route and policy formulation be formed. The development mode, spindle-shaped school hierarchy, and two-level management system hinder the revitalization of Midwest higher education, resulting in cognitive, technology, and design lock-ins as the three forms of path dependence. Establish the value concept of strengthening the school with quality, and take the connotative development as the revitalization. The top priority of the development work; build a pyramid-shaped school-running hierarchy, and take a characteristic rather than a comprehensive development path; plus, Greater support for institutions of higher learning in the middle and western regions, and the expansion of the overall planning and management authority of the provincial government, is the starting point for the revival of the advanced education in the middle and western regions. Possible solutions from "Locked" to "Advanced".

Authors: Nisar Nadia , Hussain Muhammad Sabboor
Published: June 2023

The research conducted for this study took place in a Pakistani educational institution. It compared the learner-centred (LC) and teacher-centred (TC) methods and investigated the learners' opinions regarding each method. This study employed qualitative methodology. Two classroom discussions were recorded in LC and TC modes to capture data. Participants in the study were given an open-ended questionnaire. Analyses of data were guided by Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The application of the socio-cognitive model (Dijk, 2006) and 3D model (Fairclough, 1995) revealed speech and ideology differences between TC and LC. The learners preferred the LC method. This research will encourage other academics to research different instruction methods. This research will also benefit applied linguists, particularly language teachers, to determine the effectiveness of teaching methods.

Published: June 2023

Travelling in a motor car is a popular mode of conveyance across Pakistan. Similarly, motorists constitute about 66% of total registered cars in Peshawar District which observed a 200% increase from 2006 to 2016. The current research estimates a Random Parameter Logit (RPL) Model by heterogeneousness means & variations in order to identify various parameters that contribute to the motorists' brutality of injury. The effects of motorist traits, temporal characteristics, motor vehicle features, roadway attributes, weather characteristics and effects of speed limits were predominantly considered for this analysis. Generally, typical approximation results show that the chance and severity of injuries increase for accidents including young drivers, winter indicators, and crashes that occurred between 10 AM-02 PM. Likewise, minor wound smashes are more likely to involve senior drivers, occurring during sunny weather, in the autumn season and in the month of August. Safety measures are suggested based on the findings of this research study to improve professional's motorist safety e.g. educating drivers about traffic rules and safety, zero tolerance for driving without a valid license, and enforcing speed limits on the roads. The results of this study will help in formulating strategies to improve motorists' safety.

Published: June 2023

Sindhi is the most ancient language of the sub-continent and has been used as a medium of instruction in this region through centuries. The writing history of the Sindhi Language starts from Indus Civilization in the era of pictographic scripts being used for sister civilizations. Observing ground and historical realities, Sindhi is one of the most important languages of the world. For the study and development of language, it is necessary to develop primary textbooks. In our country, the teaching of language is a specialized skill. The primer (textbook) has a very milestone role in teaching and learning of respective language. The Sindhi Primers of public and private sectors were not as per the standard of other language primers. As per basic language skills textual and spelling forms' analysis, there were found only three primers of more than 50% success rate, while others were of very low standard with less than the success rate of 30%. Therefore it was a dire need to develop and design a Model Sindhi Primer based on the new revised National Curriculum with a 100% success rate of speaking, listening, reading, writing and understanding skills of the Sindhi Language for effective learning in early childhood class in schools of Sindh. The primer under research is an effective learning model primer which fulfils sufficient needs of learners and teachers for teaching and learning of Sindhi Language.The primer under research is also a Model Primer for textbook writers and authors in developing and designing any textbook in accordance with learning outcomes and objectives described in the curriculum.
