A CULTURA HISTÓRICA COMO POSSIBILIDADE INVESTIGATIVA A PARTIR DE HISTÓRIAS EM QUADRINHOS (AUTO)BIOGRÁFICAS COM PERSONAGENS HISTÓRICOS LATINO-AMERICANOS
Authors: Fronza Marcelo
Published: March 2019

Este estudo investiga como a cultura histórica latinoamericana está relacionada com a forma como os jovens tomam o conhecimento para si a partir de histórias em quadrinhos (auto)biográficas. A investigação é estruturada nas relações entre a cultura jovem, as histórias em quadrinhos e a cultura histórica de uma sociedade. Parte-se da preocupação de compreender os processos históricos vinculados à relação entre a interculturalidade e o novo humanismo (RÜSEN, 2014) e o princípio da “burdening history” proposto Bodo von Borries (2016), o qual propõe que o fardo da história pode ser superado pela interpretação multiperspectivada instauradora de controvérsia provida pela autocrítica na teoria da história (FREITAS, 2017).  Analisam-se historias em quadrinhos que narram experiências (auto)biográficas de sujeitos que enfrentaram e resistiram à escravidão, à violência política e ao racismo na América Latina e participaram dos processos revolucionários de Cuba. Além disso, o gênero (auto)biográfico nos quadrinhos é fundamental para a compreensão da imagem pública dos sujeitos.

Authors: ALVES Diogo De Campos , PAULA Luciane Guimarães de
Published: March 2019

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada com os graduandos do curso de Letras Português e Inglês que atuam como professores de inglês no Centro de Línguas da UFG, a fim de investigar se a reflexão sobre a prática em sala de aula de língua estrangeira é capaz de promover o desenvolvimento profissional dos formandos. Como aporte teórico a pesquisa se respaldou na teoria da Formação Reflexiva baseada nos trabalhos de Dewey (1959), Smyth (1991) e outros. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram observações das aulas, questionários, sessões reflexivas sobre as aulas observadas e entrevistas gravadas em áudio. Espera-se que os resultados deste estudo sejam tanto uma oportunidade de identificar outros objetos de pesquisa quanto um meio para alcançar soluções para entraves e dificuldades comumente enfrentados no âmbito da sala de aula.
A PERCEPÇÃO DOS PROFESSORES SOBRE A ESCOLA DE TEMPO INTEGRAL: O CASO DO CEPI AMÉLIA ISSA
Authors: Da Silva Caixeta Wender , Ribeiro Cristiane Maria
Published: March 2019

Este trabalho objetivou analisar as percepções de professores acerca da Escola Pública de Tempo Integral (ETI) tendo como objeto de estudo  Centro de Ensino em Período Integral Amélia Issa, localizada em Orizona-Go, pertencente à Rede Estadual de Educação de Goiás. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa foi realizada sob a perspectiva de estudo de caso e teve como metodologia a análise documental, a observação participante natural e aplicação de questionários aos professores da escola investigada. Os dados mostraram que a maioria dos professores consideram a ETI muito necessária ao contexto escolar, embora suas percepções ainda apontem marcas assistencialistas que sustentam esta concepção. Constatamos também a precariedade nas condições de trabalho no que tange à falta de espaços específicos para a execução das atividades variadas, o que implica na reorganização dos espaços e tumulto na escola.  Concluímos que o estado exerce uma atuação tênue no tocante aos subsídios para manutenção desta organização escolar. Para tanto, nossos achados, enfatizam que não basta estender a jornada escolar no tocante à carga horária, é preciso que haja espaços físicos apropriados e recursos pedagógicos para a melhoria desta organização escolar enquanto política pública.
COMO ENSINAR A HISTÓRIA AFRICANA E A CULTURA AFRO-BRASILEIRA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL? REFLEXÕES SOBRE O PROJETO HISTÓRIAS CRUZADAS DO MINISTÉRIO DA EDUCAÇÃO (MEC)
Authors: Pereira Alan Ricardo Duarte , Alves Márcia Macedo
Published: March 2019

A proposta de educar para as relações étnicas-raciais no Brasil aconteceu a partir da resolução da Lei 10.639/03 destinada à educação básica e buscou promover o reconhecimento e a valorização dos diversos grupos e etnias que fazem parte do país. De lá para cá uma série de medidas foram tomadas para dar efetividade ao debate das relações étnico-raciais e verificou-se, aqui ou ali, uma variedade de projetos e livros destinados, na maioria das vezes, à educação superior. No entanto, o mesmo não se verificou com relação à educação básica, sobretudo a educação infantil. Em face disso, o Ministério da Educação (MEC) em parceria com a Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (UNESCO) elaborou, em 2014, uma obra voltada exclusivamente para a educação infantil: A História e cultura africana e afro-brasileira na educação infantil (HACABEI). Tal projeto procurou trabalhar as relações étnico-raciais e a cultura africana e afro-brasileira no âmbito da educação infantil. Sendo assim, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, o presente artigo problematiza o respectivo documento e traça algumas tendências do ensino das relações étnico-raciais na educação básica.

REFLEXÃO SOBRE A NATUREZA DO TRABALHO PEDAGÓGICO DE PROFESSORES ENFERMEIROS
Authors: Campos Guimarães de Araújo Reila , Silva Campos Costa Nilce Maria , Alves Silva Gleydson
Published: March 2019

Objetivo: refletir sobre o processo de formação dos professores enfermeiros e o impacto que o trabalho docente provoca no processo formativo de seus educandos. Método: esse artigo é fruto de discussões teóricas na disciplina de Trabalho docente do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. Trata-se de estudo exploratório e descritivo, de revisão bibliográfica, de abordagem predominantemente qualitativa através de análise crítica dos artigos. Considerações finais: ao refletir sobre as formas diversificadas de ensinar em Enfermagem torna-se relevante compreender a trajetória formativa necessária para construir uma identidade docente pois a memória educativa do enfermeiro impacta no seu comportamento ‘pedagógico’, e geralmente os enfermeiros assumem o cargo de docente sem nenhuma experiência e/ou conhecimento sobre as Políticas de Educação, considerando ser formação pedagógica os cursos esporádicos  que fazem ao longo da carreira docente.

LIVRO DIDÁTICO E O PROFESSOR CRÍTICO-REFLEXIVO - ASSOCIAÇÕES POSSÍVEIS
Authors: Carvalho Sobrinho Hugo De , Silva Alcinéia De Souza , Valério Gleiser Mateus Ferreira
Published: March 2019

Este ensaio faz reflexões sobre educação, livro didático e o professor crítico-reflexivo. Buscamos pensar sobre a educação em uma sociedade capitalista e destacar o livro didático como um instrumento pedagógico que pode funcionar como uma “faca de dois gumes”: por um lado, pode contribuir para a emancipação e formação das futuras gerações, e, por outro, pode estar a serviço da difusão dos interesses da classe social dominante, de forma implícita ou explícita. Com isto, evidenciamos a importância do professor crítico-reflexivo ao utilizar esse instrumento pedagógico. No que se refere às questões metodológicas, este artigo tem como base a perspectiva qualitativa. Buscamos, a partir da literatura e da experiência como professores/pesquisadores, avançar em alguns aspectos que julgamos pertinentes no debate educacional vigente.
Audit Partner Quality and Audit Report Timeliness in Oman: A Conceptual Framework
Authors: Raweh Nahla Abdulrahman Mohammed , Kamardin Hasnah , Malek Mazrah Malik
Published: March 2019

In response to recent call on the need for audit scholars to utilize a richer set of audit firm characteristics, auditor ofﬁce, and the individual partner characteristics to capture audit competency, this study aims to expand the scope of relevant research by conceptually examining the association between audit partner quality by three characteristics namely, education, experience and tenure, and audit report timeliness in the emerging market, based on previous literature. This study adds to the growing research by providing the conceptual model showing the importance of audit partner characteristics (e.g. education, experience and tenure) affecting the quality of audit outputs such as audit report timeliness, and agency theory is predicted to explain this effect on the audit report timeliness.
Corporate Governance and Firm Performance: Evidence From the ADRs of Tiger Cub Economies
Authors: Pan Lee-Hsien , Chen Shuo , Wu Chieh-Chung , Chen K. C.
Published: March 2019

This paper examines the effects of cross listing and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) on corporate governance and firm performance of the cross-listed firms from four Tiger Cub Economics: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. We find that these non-U.S. firms that list their shares as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) experience an improvement in corporate governance and a decrease in firm performance after issuing ADRs in the U.S. However, SOX appears to be effective in enhancing firm performance for these ADRs, though it has little impact on improving corporate governance.
Small-Scale Irrigation and Production Efficiency among Vegetable Farmers in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa: The DEA Approach
Authors: Kibirige Douglas , Singh Ajay S. , Rugube Lovemore M.
Published: March 2019

Despite the establishment and revitalization of small-scale irrigation schemes, input subsidies and tractor hire schemes in the rural Eastern Cape Province of South Africa productivity among small-scale farmers is recorded low and anticipated to decline. For survival, small-scale farmers have resorted to cultivating high value crops including vegetables. However, their vegetable productivity is far less than the estimated potential yields, and information regarding their production efficiency is limited. Therefore, this study was aimed at determining farmer’s production efficiency to generate meaningful information necessary for designing feasible pro-poor policies aimed at catalysing increased the productivity and rural household incomes. The study was carried out at Qamata and Tyefu irrigation schemes, and approximately 158 farmers were interviewed. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach was used to generate results. The findings in this article indicated that most farmers are old aged with low literacy levels. Farmers were also allocating few hectares of land for cabbage production with far less application of fertilizers and pesticides compared to the recommended amounts. Farmers at Qamata and Tyefu irrigation schemes are technically, allocatively and economically efficient at 98%, 72% and 77% level, respectively. Thus, for improving the productivity, farmers need to maintain the same technologies and adjust on the amounts of fertilizers, seeds and pesticides used for improving allocative and economic efficiency. Results suggested that this can be achieved through encouraging more youth participation in farming, improved input-agronomic and agribusiness skills, catalysing processes of land reforms, and construction of more dams.

Authors: Batista Lucas Dos Santos , Gomes Filho Raimundo Rodrigues , Da Silva Mairton Gomes
Published: March 2019

As mudanças provocadas pela ação antrópica na paisagem promovem vários impactos sobre o ambiente físico e biológico. O acompanhamento, a identificação e a orientação para o uso e ocupação racional das terras são de grande importância para o planejamento ambiental. Nesse sentido, o uso de modelo ambiental estruturado em Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) pode contribuir para a construção de dados espaciais que identifiquem a capacidade e as restrições do uso adequado da terra. Diante disso, o objetivo do trabalho foi elaborar o mapeamento da ocupação da terra na bacia hidrográfica do rio Poxim no estado de Sergipe, a partir de imagens de alta resolução espacial adquirida através do Google Earth. Observou-se os seguintes percentuais das classes mapeadas: pastagem (45,78%), floresta nativa (26,33%), agricultura (16,73%), solo exposto (5,66%), área urbana (5,34%) e corpos d’Água (0,13%). Podendo-se concluir que, a bacia hidrográfica do rio Poxim está inserida em uma área rural, de área relativamente conservada. Os resultados obtidos mostram a utilidade da espacialização de uso e cobertura das terras, utilizando SIG como ferramenta complementar e eficiente para fornecer análise espacial dos diversos usos das terras.
HIDRÓLISE ENZIMÁTICA DO CAROÇO DE AÇAÍ (Euterpe oleracea Mart) PARA A PRODUÇÃO DE ETANOL
Authors: Cordeiro Marcio De Andrade , De Almeida Ossalin , Rocha de Castro Douglas Alberto , Da Silva Ribeiro Haroldo Jorge , Machado Nélio Teixeira
Published: March 2019

O aproveitamento do caroço de Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart), com fins energéticos tem sido pouco estudado, por tanto buscou-se nesse artigo estudar a produção de etanol de segunda geração a partir da hidrólise enzimática do caroço de açaí in natura e tratado com solvente em duas condições de temperaturas (60 e 70 °C). Como resultados do processo de hidrólise enzimática, o caroço de açaí sem tratamento na temperatura de 60 °C (CANT60) mostrou ser uma biomassa lignocelulósica promissora para a obtenção de etanol, por conter um alto teor de celulose (40,29%), além de apresentar bons rendimentos na liberação de glicose (13,687 g.L-1) após a hidrólise enzimática. No tratamento com solvente do caroço de açaí (CAT), na conversão de celulose em glicose, o rendimento ficou abaixo de 25%, nas duas condições de temperaturas (60 e 70 °C), não foi capaz de desestruturar a parede vegetal da biomassa, em especial, celulose, hemicelulose e lignina. Mediante a análise dos dados experimentais, podemos dizer que a melhor condição da hidrólise enzimática do caroço de açaí foi o CANT60 com rendimentos de 84,54% em relação a concentração inicial de celulose e de 34,08% em relação a concentração inicial da polpa do caroço de açaí (40 g.L-1). A glicose obtida pela hidrólise enzimática do caroço de açaí foi bem assimilada pela levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae para a produção de etanol, o rendimento, correspondeu a 87,08% em relação a concentração inicial de glicose (13,68 g.L-1).

Published: March 2019

Os resíduos de atividades agrícolas e agropecuárias possuem um grande potencial para produção de biogás, o qual é constituído por um terço de gás metano, um terço de dióxido de carbono e um terço de outros gases. O biogás se apresenta como uma alternativa para substituição de energias não renováveis, contribuindo com a preservação do meio e com a melhoria da qualidade de vida da população. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o sistema de manejo e tratamento de dejetos de animais da bovinocultura de leite através de biodigestor do tipo canadense e a consequente geração de biogás e biofertilizante de uma propriedade rural, além de propor melhorias para a eficiência no processo de tratamento dos resíduos gerados, fortalecendo o desenvolvimento sustentável da mesma através de um novo modelo de biodigestor. Este estudo foi realizado nas instalações de confinamento para bovinocultura de leite de uma propriedade rural localizada no município de Espumoso-RS. Observou-se que o atual sistema de tratamento dos dejetos seria suficiente para tornar a propriedade autossustentável em geração de energia elétrica, entretanto, o tempo de retorno do investimento realizado é em longo prazo. Já com a proposta sugerida, isto é, com a prospecção e utilização de uma maior quantidade de biomassa aliada à implantação de um novo sistema de biodigestão automatizada, percebe-se que apesar da necessidade de um maior investimento, o tempo de retorno diminui em, aproximadamente, quatro anos, com um lucro mensal superior ao sistema atual, tornando a propriedade muito mais autossustentável.
The Relevance of the Belmont Report to Research Using Animals
Authors: Robinson Frances
Published: March 2019

Prejudice (unjustifiable bias) in the selection of the subjects of scientific research is morally unacceptable. Indeed, the occurrence of prejudice in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study prompted the production of the Belmont Report, setting out the basic ethical principles for the protection of human subjects of biomedical and behavioral research. The relevance of the Belmont Report to the protection of all animal subjects of scientific research is discussed.
Perceptions of the affordable care act by Physician Assistants
Authors: Reinhold Martina I. , Bacon-Baguley Theresa
Published: March 2019

Objective: Implementation of the affordable care act (ACA) resulted in an increased number of insured individuals and a shortage of primary care physicians. Physician Assistants (PAs) are poised to address this shortage since the PA profession is grounded in teamwork exemplified by the Accountable Care Organizations supported by the ACA. This study assesses the perception of the ACA by PAs providing healthcare services during implementation of the ACA.Methods: In this repeated cross-sectional study, alumni from a Midwest PA program were surveyed in 2014, 2016 and 2018 on knowledge and perception of the ACA. Questions addressed the ACA impact on the PA profession and on patients’ access to healthcare.Results: During the initial four years of ACA implementation, the following increases in perception were seen: 1) 32% increase in positive outlook of healthcare; 2) 37% increase in positive influence on PA practice; 3) 30% increase in positive impact of practice autonomy; 4) 64% increase in positive impact for patients; and 5) 33% increase in patient access to care. Additionally, the inability to choose a provider increased by 18%.Conclusions: Over the last four years PAs have perceived positive effects pertaining to their practice and regarding the impact on their patients despite an increase in the inability to choose a provider. Inability to choose a provider may in part be due to the rising number of narrow-network plans. The findings of greater autonomy and increased compensation for PAs are contrary to physicians who perceive the ACA to decrease their autonomy and their compensation.
Synthesis of New Mixed-Ligand Complexes of Molybdenum (IV) and Tungsten(IV): Characterization, Structure, Thermal and Anti-microbial Studies
Authors: Fabiyi Festus Sunday , Nwosu Friday O.
Published: March 2019

Six new mixed-ligand complexes of Mo(IV) and W(IV) ions have been prepared and characterized. The three new complexes of Mo(IV) ions have the molecular formulae MoC12N2O5H18, MoC15N2O5H22 and MoC14N2O6H19 , while the W(II) ions are WC12N2O5H18, WC15N2O5H22 and WC14N2O6H19. The structures of the complexes were deduced from their ir, 1H nmr, and mass spectral studies. All the complexes were found to exhibit octahedral structures. Their antimicrobial activities against some bacteria and fungi species were found to be moderate.

Authors: Eryucel Mehmet Emre
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this study is to analyze the self-talk and optimal emotional state of athletes in team and individual sports. In this research, 86 females and 156 males—a total of 242—athletes participated on a voluntary basis. The self-talk scale and the optimal performance emotion state scale were identified as data collection tools in the scope of the research. For the analysis and evaluation of the data, descriptive statistical methods and Independent Sample t-test were used. The analyses were carried out using the SPSS package, and the significance level was determined as P <0.05. Upon evaluation of the findings in terms of branch and gender variables, no significant difference was observed in the optimal performance emotion states and self-talk levels of the athletes who took part in the study. It can be concluded that individual or team sports do not have an influence on self-talk or optimal performance emotion state of athletes.

Authors: Takzare Alireza , Maleki Anahid , Goudarzi Mehrdad , Soltani Alireza Ebrahim , Sepehr Irandokht Ghorbani
Published: March 2019

Objective: Acute pain is a common complication in children undergoing surgery. Acute pain and delirium are associated with agitated behavior, in which there is a risk that the patient causes harm to himself and others. Acute pain and delirium also dissatisfy parents and caregivers during recovery, prolong the recovery and hospitalization, and make more nursing care necessary.

Material and Methods: In this study, 90 ASA I children, aged 3-8, and two candidates for elective inguinal hernia surgery were divided into three groups based on a random number table using block size of four. Parental permission was obtained beforehand. In group 1, 1mg/kg of ketamine (3cc) was administered orally. In group 2, 0.5mg/kg of ketamine was administered subcutaneously after the anesthetic induction. In Group 3, or control group, the same amount of normal saline was administered as the placebo, then the surgery got underway.

Results: Comparing the administration of oral ketamine, subcutaneous ketamine and normal saline, the study showed that the pain was significantly higher in the placebo group at 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Subcutaneous ketamine resulted in higher delirium at 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes than the placebo and oral ketamine. Satisfaction of nurses from the patient’s recovery was significantly higher in the oral ketamine group and subcutaneous ketamine group (p=0/007). The need for narcotics in the oral ketamine group and subcutaneous ketamine group was lower than the placebo group (p=0/001). Ketamine administration prolonged the length of stay in the PACU, but it did not increase the frequency of complications such as postoperative nausea and vomiting and laryngospasm or bronchospasm in the two groups during the recovery.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the study indicated that oral administration of low-dose ketamine before surgery can reduce pain severity and spare the need for analgesics after surgery.

Background: Genetic counseling is the process of guidance in which people understand and adjust to the psychological, clinical, and familial implications of genetic impacts on disease. As a preventive strategy, genetic counselling has an important role in increasing families’ knowledge and awareness about their condition. Objectives: The present study was conducted to assess knowledge and attitude of couples who referred for premarital laboratory testing in the south of Iran. Methods: One hundred and twenty-five couples were recruited randomly from the premarital referrals to the Bandar Abbas Health Center in Hormozgan province, south of Iran. The questionnaire has been considered by five experts in the field. Context validity index has been calculated as 0.89. All questionnaires were filled by each partner. The collected data were statistically analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS 16.0). Results: The total mean age was 26.7 years which among them 125 couples, 41.6% were consanguineous. There were significant relations between education, monthly income, job, religious beliefs and history of a genetic disorders in the family members and some aspects of awareness and attitude toward genetic counselling (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our present study showed the impact of socioeconomic status on attitude toward genetic counselling in marriage decision and co-operation for genetic counselling in multiple secessions. Based on our finding we suggest improvement of awareness toward genetic counselling. An educational curriculum can be designed at the school and undergraduate level besides national media in all aspects especially premarital and fertility decisions.
Interfacing Filipino Lakas Tawa (Power of Laughter) and Lament
Authors: Astorga Christina A. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2019

Filipino lakas tawa, with examples drawn from the 1986 Filipino revolution, is interfaced with lament based on the Book of Lamentations with parallel examples from W. E. Burghart Du Bois’s “A Litany at Atlanta.” This interfacing is brought to bear on the article’s central thesis: Lakas tawa and lament are two ways of being and doing in the face of suffering and death, but are intrinsically woven into the tapestry of one human reality. They are two paths of resistance, both deeply connected to faith and religion, though in different ways. Where they converge and diverge, they have the power to subvert oppressive systems and the potential of transforming them.

Another encounter with the Alien Numbers problem
Authors: Stark Walter
Published: March 2019

Students must actively engage in exploring math. That is why I am always looking for tasks that will allow my students to to explore problems using the Common Core's (CCSSI 2010) eight Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP). These standards are vital for developing a deepening understanding of math. They allow students to cultivate skills and thought processes that aid in wiring their brains into being deep thinkers and problem solvers. These skills transcend the classroom and are needed to be successful in the world. I also want my students to revisit ideas that we have already touched on and continue to examine.

Det proto-jurisdiktionelle sprog
Authors: Meilvang Marie Leth , Blok Anders
Published: March 2019

In this article, we inquire into the role played by language and core, politicized concepts in inter-professional coordination around expert work in transition. Empirically, we analyze how engineers and landscape architects cooperate around and compete for work related to rainwater management and climate adaptation in cities. We draw on qualitative empirical material, including around 30 in-terviews with involved professionals, focusing on the significance ascribed to the concept of "LAR", local drainage of rainwater, in the wider climate adaptation field since the 1990s. Using Andrew Abbott's (1988, 2005) theory of professions, we show how the story of LAR embodies a wider dynamic of 'proto-jurisdictional' emergence, with new professional roles and languages. Ab-bott places control over work tasks center stage in analyzing professional relations; and this includes 'ecological' considerations for how professions relate to political and academic institutions. On this basis, we show how professional actors use the specific LAR concept as a way of claiming compe-tence and forge alliances with others in the climate adaptation field. In reference to Abbott's notion of the 'knowledge systems' of professions, the implication we draw is that we need to understand professional languages in relation to broader jurisdictional struggles and translations between politi-cal and academic discourses.
On Teaching Kim’s Convenience: Asian American Studies, Asian Canadian Studies, and the Politics of Race in Asian Canadian Theatre and Performance Studies
Authors: Daniher Colleen Kim
Published: March 2019

This article offers a critical overview and rationale for why and to what ends Daniher put a comparative Asian North American method into practice in her classroom on Asian American Theatre and Performance Studies at Brown University in Spring 2016. In particular, Daniher focuses on pairing Ins Choi’s play-text Kim’s Convenience (2011) alongside a viewing of the made-for-PBS broadcast of Anna Deavere Smith’s Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 (2001) in order to broach the topic of anti-Black racism in both Canada and the US in the Black Lives Matter moment . Although Daniher describes here a course and learning experience from within a US-American institutional setting, she directs the following emergent queries to the field of Canadian Theatre and Performance Studies in light of its recent inauguration of the new “sub-field” of Asian Canadian Theatre and Performance Studies: How should we frame Asian Canadian theatre and performance in the classroom? For what purpose and under what curricular conditions do we teach racialized “minority” repertoires of theatre and performance in Canada? Drawing on overlapping genealogies of Asian American and Asian Canadian Studies, Daniher contends that a more rigorous engagement with existing theories, methods, and critical analyses of racial power is urgently needed if Asian Canadian Theatre Studies hopes to coincide with the larger political-ethical stakes of “Asian Canadian studies projects” writ-large.
Policy Impacts on Africa’s Extractive Sector: Botswana, Diamond Dependence, and Diversification in the Post-Diamond Period
Authors: Besada Hany , O’Bright Ben
Published: March 2019

This paper investigates the topic of sustainable natural resource governance, and policy and politics thereof, in the context of Botswana. The authors endeavour to provide a preliminary justification for why Botswana, as a country of investigation, is a potential role model and a site of deep study for researchers of contemporary sustainable resource governance. This paper argues that the rest of Africa can learn from the Government of Botswana’s policies regarding multinational corporations operating in the mining sector, particularly in terms of attracting investment, but, too, Botswana could learn much from others in terms of economic diversification and linkage promotion.
« La confirmation des réalités non manifestes » (NH III 74,17-19)
Authors: Painchaud Louis
Published: March 2019

Le traité Eugnoste conservé en copte dans les codices III et V de Nag Hammadi offre des indices clairs d’une composition (dispositio) suivant les règles de la rhétorique exposées dans les manuels gréco-romains. Il s’écarte toutefois de l’ordo naturalis en quatre parties, exordium, narratio, argumentatio (probatio, refutatio) et peroratio, défini par ces manuels, sans doute en raison des exigences de la situation de communication. En effet, au lieu d’être présentée en une seule partie suivant la narratio, consacrée à la description des réalités invisibles, la preuve est disséminée au long de la narratio, sous la forme de comparaisons (similitudines) empruntées au domaine des réalités visibles, suivant un principe de connaissance commun selon lequel on peut connaître les réalités invisibles à partir des réalités visibles.

Cet article examine le rôle des cinq « demeures » (ou « puissances intellectuelles » ou « propriétés mentales ») du Royaume de la Lumière dans le récit de l’Évangile vivant de Mani selon le codex copte des Synaxeis. Loin d’être dispensées de prendre part à la guerre (comme c’est le cas d’après la notice de Théodore bar Koni sur la doctrine de Mani), ces cinq puissances peuvent être considérées, dans le récit de Mani, comme contribuant activement non seulement à la génération de chaque puissance divine nouvellement appelée à l’existence, mais aussi à la lutte proprement dite contre les forces des Ténèbres, assurant ainsi leur défaite finale.
L’Autre Autrement
Authors: Champagne Elaine
Published: March 2019

Plutôt qu’une action à poser ou une vertu à développer, l’hospitalité est présentée comme espace fondamental d’émergence de la vie spirituelle et de la contemplation. L’article propose une relecture du texte évangélique de Marthe et Marie (Lc 10,38-42), à la lumière des interprétations d’Eckhart et de Caputo.
La place de l’éthique professionnelle dans les programmes d’orthophonie au Canada
Authors: Caty Marie-Ève , Lessard Marie-Dominique , Robertson Annie-Kim
Published: March 2019

L’éthique professionnelle est une compétence importante pour les professionnels qui œuvrent dans le domaine de la santé. Chez les orthophonistes, plus spécifiquement, l’élargissement constant du champ de pratique et la complexification des besoins de la population vieillissante font en sorte que ces professionnels sont confrontés à davantage de questionnements de nature éthique. Pourtant, la littérature scientifique démontre que les orthophonistes ne se sentent pas adéquatement préparés à résoudre des enjeux de nature éthique. L’objectif général de cette étude était d’examiner l’état de la formation en éthique professionnelle dans tous les programmes canadiens qui offrent une formation en orthophonie. Afin de répondre à cet objectif, un sondage a été envoyé aux directeurs des onze programmes universitaires canadiens en orthophonie. Trois programmes ont répondu au sondage. Les principaux résultats obtenus suggèrent que l’éthique professionnelle est un sujet enseigné à l’intérieur de différents cours des cursus universitaires canadiens en orthophonie. Malgré tout, le pourcentage consacré à celui-ci à l’intérieur des cours s’avère faible et difficile à bien estimer. Ces résultats offrent un premier éclairage sur la quantité et la qualité des cours portant sur l’éthique professionnelle offerts dans les différents programmes canadiens d’orthophonie, de même que sur les méthodes pédagogiques utilisées.
Denying Assisted Dying Where Death is Not ‘Reasonably Foreseeable’: Intolerable Overgeneralization in Canadian End-of-Life Law
Authors: Reel Kevin
Published: March 2019

The recent change in Canadian law to allow access to medical assistance in dying restricts eligibility, among its other criteria, to those for whom “natural death has become reasonably foreseeable.” A recent review of certain aspects of the law examined the evidence pertaining to extending access to assisted dying in three particular request situations currently denied: requests by mature minors, advance requests, and requests where mental illness is the sole underlying medical condition [1]. The requirement for this review was included in the legislation that introduced medical assistance in dying in Canada. Both the original change in the law and the review itself neglected to consider those with intolerable suffering for whom natural death is not reasonably foreseeable. This paper explores the possibility that access to assisted dying should be extended by removing this limiting criterion. It also considers the ethical challenges this might present for those who work in rehabilitation.

Ce commentaire propose une réflexion sur les motivations qui poussent des ergothérapeutes à opter pour la pratique privée (à but lucratif) ainsi que sur leurs implications éthiques.
“What Is PER?” Patient Engagement in Research as a Hit
Authors: Bélisle-Pipon Jean-Christophe , Del Grande Claudio , Rouleau Geneviève
Published: March 2019

Engaging patients in research conduct and agenda setting is increasingly considered as an ethical imperative, and a way to transcend views of patients as passive subjects by fostering their empowerment. However, patient engagement in research (PER) is still an emerging approach with debated definitional and operational frameworks. This song addresses the sometimes difficult encounter and elusive mutual understanding between researchers and patients. “What is PER?” is an impressionistic illustration of the challenges and issues that can be found in the universe of patient engagement in research.
Helping Surrogate Decision-Makers Through Difficult Conversations
Authors: Nortjé Nico

Difficult conversations in the ICU are often seen as ones of getting a surrogate decision-maker to make an end-of-life decision. However, allowing the surrogate decision-maker to become a narrator can alleviate the daunting task lying ahead.
The Case for Local Ethics Oversight in International Development Research
Authors: Cochrane Logan , Boulanger Renaud F. , Sheikheldin Gussai H , Song Gloria
Published: March 2019

This paper argues that international development research should be submitted to the oversight of research ethics committees from the countries where data will be collected. This includes research conducted by individuals who may fall outside the jurisdictions of most ethics guidelines or policies, such as individuals contracted by non-governmental organizations. The argument is grounded in an understanding of social justice that recognizes that not seeking local ethics approval can be an affront to the decolonization movement, and may lead to significant direct harms to participants. Local ethics oversight can help ensure projects appropriately take into consideration local laws, regulations, priorities and context. For example, a local research ethics committee may be in a better position than a foreign one to assess whether any given proposed project carries context-specific risks. In addition, submitting to a local research ethics committee is to acknowledge the legitimacy of local authorities, thereby taking a stance against the history of colonizing disempowerment. Local oversight is a mechanism to increase the accountability of researchers working abroad: if respect for local authority and tailoring to local context are to be upheld, there must be mechanisms to ensure that research that does not meet these requirements does not proceed. Objections based on the limited oversight capacity in some countries and on concerns related to the politicization of the review process are discussed. Finally, the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders in the implementation of greater local ethics oversight are laid out.
Responsible Access to Data in International Field Research: A Case Study from Tanzania
Authors: Sheikheldin Gussai H
Published: March 2019

This case study illustrates the author's narrative of his experience obtaining local research ethics approval in Tanzania. It highlights the additional requirements a foreign researcher in Tanzania can encounter with visa approval which is a separate process from research ethics approval. While fulfilling the visa requirements may not be directly related to the ethical administration of research per se, it is part of the responsible conduct of research (RCR) which, among others, includes respect for the local laws and procedures of the host country. The narrative shows that a responsible access to field data in such cases requires fulfilling two separate but complimentary processes: local research ethics review and proper visa attainment. Further, an example of an 'irresponsible' access to data is also presented for comparison and examination of the consequences.
Ethical Evaluation and Action Research: Toward New North-South Research Collaborations?
Authors: Feagan Mathieu
Published: March 2019

This case study examines the author's experience gaining ethics approval for an action research project, to build capacity for new North-South research collaborations among graduate students trained in health and environment. It is argued that the ethics review process and action research framework seem to talk past each other. While the former may reinforce the divide between researchers and researched communities, potentially exacerbating North-South power asymmetries, the latter may presume that such asymmetries are overcome too easily through the good intentions of northern researchers, rather than through the work of southern actors to take back power. Considerations are offered for more realistic approaches to ethical North-South research collaborations.
Ethical Issues Related to Positionality and Reverse Asymmetry in International Development Research: Experiences in Researching South Asian Philanthropy
Authors: Kulendrarajah Nirojan
Published: March 2019

The role of asymmetry and positionality of the researcher-research participant relationship is important for research ethics in international development. However, discourse should take into account instances where 'reverse asymmetry' may exist, and consider developing different strategies and concerns for researchers to consider in this context.
Rüzgar Enerjisi ve Çevresel Potansiyelinin Keşan Örneği Üzerinden İncelenmesi
Authors: KUZGUN Hilal , ÖZTAŞ Hilal , KURSUN Berrin
Published: March 2019

Enerji ihtiyacının sürekli artması, yaygın kullanılan
enerji kaynaklarının kısıtlı, tükenebilir ve çevreye zararlı olması alternatif
enerji kaynaklarının kullanılmasını gerekli kılmıştır. Bu çalışmada amaç,
rüzgar enerjisinin mesken elektrik enerjisi ihtiyacını karşılamakta ne kadar
sürdürülebilir bir seçenek olduğunu incelemektir. İnceleme sonucunda, Edirne
ili rüzgar türübini kurulumu için en uygun bölgelerden biri olarak
belirlenmiştir. Edirne’de ekonomik olarak rüzgar enerji santrali (RES) kurulumu
için uygun rüzgar hızı ve kapasite faktörü değerine sahip bölgelerinden olan
Keşan ilçesi için 2018 yılı nüfusu ve nüfusun gerekli mesken
elektrik ihtiyacı dikkate alındığında, 19 MW’ lık bir RES yatırımının ilçenin
mesken elektrik ihtiyacını karşılayacağı tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan projeksiyon
çalışmaları sonucunda 2050 yılına kadar gerekli mesken elektrik ihtiyacının karşılanması  için ise 165 MW’lık RES kurulması
gerekmektedir. Ayrıca, çalışmamızda rüzgar enerjisinden elektrik eldesi
sonucunda oluşan CO2 salınımları ile Türkiye’de mevcut durumda
elektrik üretimi sonucu CO2 salınımları karşılaştırılmıştır.
Elektrik ihtiyacının rüzgar enerjisiyle karşılanması durumunda, CO2
salınımında  %97,96 azalma
sağlanacağı belirlenmiştir. Keşan özelinde rüzgar enerjisinin 2050 yılına kadar
Keşan’daki elektrik ihtiyacını karşılama potansiyeline sahip olduğu belirlenmiş
ve  Türkiye’nin  rüzgar enerji potansiyelini maksimum
kapasitede kullanması ile ülkenin karbon salınımı azaltım hedeflerine
ulaşılmasında büyük katkı sağlayabilecek düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir.
