Deformation Behaviour of Erodible Soil Stabilized with Cement and Quarry Dust
Authors: Emeka Arinze Emmanuel , Jonah Chukwuemeka Agunwamba , Benjamin.Okwudili Mama
Published: December 2018

This study was carried using finite element software (Plaxis) in studying the Engineering behavior of erodible soil-quarry dust composite at a proportion of 50% quarry dust and 10% cement. It discusses the effects of decorative street light through numerical analysis using the Finite Elements Method. Plaxis program v8.2 was applied to model the soil behavior. The Mohr-Coulomb model reveals that the deformations are concentrated exclusively on the base course, with the appearance of plastic tension cut-off points on base course. The structure was subjected to double point loads of 50 kN/m each which resulted to 100 kN/m. The results shows that the pavement deformed at load 85.16kN/m which showed that the soil strength cannot withhold the pressure from the street light. The load displacement acting on the base of the highway in study is . The result also shows that failure was concentrated at the base course of the pavement. This was due to the presence of underground water beneath the phreatic level. The quarry dust is a good replacement to weak soil or a good additive to help improved a problematic soil. From analysis, the soil strength lies below the effective stress acting on the pavement which is equal to 85.16 kN/m. It is advisable to replace some quantities of the existing soil and be replaced by quarry dust since quarry dust is a waste product from crushing of stones. Lastly, about 30% of the existing soil should be replaced by either the mixture of lateritic soil and quarry dust or the soil there should be used as subbase which may not be economical.
THE DOMINANCE OF INTRINSIC MOTIVATION TO EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION ON REDUCTION OF EMPLOYEE TURNOVER RATE
Authors: UYSAL H.tezcan
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this
study is to compare the functions of the internal and external motivation
dimensions during the process of minimizing and eliminating the intention to
leave factor, which causes an increased employee turnover rate in the
organization, to identify the dominant motivation dimension that creates a
negative effect on the intention to leave and present administrative
suggestions that will improve the organizational atmosphere of the employees
based on the results to be obtained. Based on this purpose, data was collected
from 334 workers actively working in Zonguldak Province by survey method. As a
result of the performed correlation and simple linear regression analyses, it
was determined that there was a significant negative relationship between the
intention to leave and motivation dimensions and that internal motivation
explains 20% and external motivation explains 8% of the intention to leave. It
was also determined that a 1-unit increase in internal motivation resulted in a
decrease of 0.417 units on the intention to leave and a 1 unit increase in
external motivation caused a decrease of 0.153 units in the intention to leave
that the dominant dimension of motivation is the internal motivation in terms
of effect of lowering the employee turnover rate. Upon examining the difference
analyses, internal motivation was found to be higher among employees with work
experience of 4 years or more, married employees, employees with high income
and public-sector employees.

Impact de l’acte traductif et de l’Autre culturel sur la francophonie latente en Iran
Authors: Gashmardi Mahmoud Reza
Published: December 2018

La traduction est le générateur des relations culturelles entre les pays. L’acte traductif est un facteur qui joue un rôle prépondérant dans la présentation de l’Autre culturel. La fonction idéologique de la culture détermine que le Même est prioritaire et l’Autre secondaire ; si le regard change, l’Autre devient le Même. Dans le passé, on imaginait que la constitution de soi se faisait largement par l’effacement de l’Autre, mais aujourd’hui, on s’accorde sur l’idée que la constitution de soi se fait aussi par la mise en évidence de l’Autre. Malgré la fonction idéologique de la culture qui polarise la culture de l’Autre et celle du Même, l’échange culturel est la monnaie courante du jour entre les cultures de l’Autre et du Même. De cet angle, la traduction peut être définie comme la vie aux frontières de l’interculturel, comme la contemplation des merveilles de l’Autre ; et le traducteur s’efforce de les traduire, de se les approprier, et en même temps, de rester différent et de préserver sa propre identité. Dans l’acte traductif, le traducteur traduit non-seulement la langue-culture de l’Autre, mais il présente aussi l’Autre à ses lecteurs. Dans l’initiative traductive, la traduction crée des relations interculturelles et constitue la culture du Même. L’acte traductif et l’Autre culturel ont joué un rôle éminent dans la francophonie latente en Iran (Gashmardi et SalimiKouchi). Le traducteur ne transmet pas uniquement un texte de langue source à la langue cible, mais il le reconstruit dans sa langue maternelle. Dans cet article, nous cherchons à démontrer comment l’inauguration de l’école polytechnique de Dar ol-Fonun en 1851 et la traduction ont contribué à créer une francophonie latente en Iran. Le premier peut être considéré comme une relance, dirons-nous, officielle de la francophonie en Iran ; et le second comme l’initiative traductive interculturelle qui a présenté l’Autre culturel et qui a préparé l’avènement de la francophonie culturelle latente en Iran.
Le rôle d’internet et de la télévision dans l’adaptation des réfugiés en France
Authors: Charmarkeh Houssein
Published: December 2018

Le nombre de réfugiés dans le monde ne cesse d’augmenter. Le Haut commissariat des Nations Unies pour les réfugiés estime le nombre record de déplacés forcés en 2011 à 43,7 millions. En France, plus de 57 000 ont introduit une demande de protection à l’Office français de protection des réfugiés et apatrides. Les Somaliens constituent en France l’un des groupes en constante augmentation en raison de la crise humanitaire, politique et sécuritaire qui secoue leur pays. De nombreuses études ont été menées dans le cadre de l’accueil des réfugiés en France et de la fragilisation du droit d’asile. Les recherches s’intéressant à analyser les usages des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) tels que internet et la télévision par les réfugiés restent embryonnaires. Cette présente recherche tente de combler cet écart en contribuant à l’analyse des usages d’internet et de la télévision par les réfugiés Somaliens pendant leur installation en France.

Abstract

The number of refugees on a global scale is increasing. In fact, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that in 2011 there were 43.7 million forcibly displaced persons reaching a worldwide record. In France, more than 57 thousand persons applied for protection to the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons. Somalis are among the refugee groups on the rise in France due to the humanitarian, political and security crises that shook their country. Numerous studies have been conducted in the context of the reception of refugees in France and the weakening of the right to asylum. This study aims to analyze the uses of Information Technology and Communication (ICT), in particular Internet and television, by refugees as such studies remains limited. This research study strives to fill this gap by contributing to the analysis of the usage of the Internet and television by Somali refugees during their settlement in France.
L'impossibilité d'une île. L'histoire littéraire française à l'épreuve de la mondialisation
Authors: Obergöker Timo
Published: December 2018

Résumé L’imaginaire collectif français a longtemps été marqué par un lien étroit entre la nation et la narration. Ce lien était étayé, entre autres, par l’histoire littéraire, celle-ci a pendant longtemps joué un rôle crucial dans la constitution d’une identité collective et de ce fait dans le système éducatif. Dans un monde globalisé toutefois, ce lien se fait de plus en plus précaire. Bien que la France fût, grâce au fait colonial, rapidement confronté à des textes littéraires provenant d’ailleurs, ceux-ci étaient rapidement intégrés dans un narratif marqué par le principe de l’universalité française. Or depuis les années 1980 avec la mondialisation et la migration, le lien entre nation et narration est de plus en plus menacé. Ce texte étudie les manières dont les instances académiques françaises réagissent à ces menaces mais envisage aussi les mécanismes par le biais desquels ces tendances sont intégrés dans le narratif français, comment le lien entre narration et nation est réactualisé dans l’imaginaire collectif.

Défense et illustration de la chick BD
Authors: Bozard Laurent
Published: December 2018

À partir de 2010, des auteures de blog BD voient leur productions en ligne publiées en album. Cela n'a pas laissé le monde de la bande dessinée indifférent : auteurs, critiques, éditeurs, journalistes, beaucoup ont alors alimenté un débat autour de la qualité de ces productions.

Cet article propose une étude de la situation de quatre auteures (Margaux Motin, Diglee, Pénélope Bagieu et Madeleine Martin) en considérant plusieurs axes de réflexion principaux : la question du (mauvais) genre et de la féminité proposée dans ce type d'œuvres, le lien avec leur support originel (le blog), les questions éditoriales et enfin leur parenté avec la "chick lit".
Les Trois Mousquetaires : enjeux d’une réappropriation dans Milady de Winter d’Agnès Maupré suivi d'un entretien avec Agnès Maupré
Authors: Bonadè Sophie
Published: December 2018

Cet article s’intéresse à la réécriture du roman d'Alexandre Dumas, Les Trois mousquetaires, effectuée par Agnès Maupré à travers la bande dessinée Milady de Winter. D'Artagnan et les trois mousquetaires (Athos, Porthos et Aramis) sont déchus de leurs rôles de protagonistes et remplacés par Milady de Winter. Cette inversion des rôles permet à Agnès Maupré d'insister sur les violences subites par Milady, présentes, mais en second plan, dans le roman d'Alexandre Dumas. Au fil des deux tomes de Milady de Winter, l'auteure déconstruit la figure de "femme fatale" qu'est devenue Milady dans l'imaginaire contemporain, et fait d'elle le sujet de son œuvre.
Terrorisme et politiques de dépossession(s) dans Le serment des barbares de Boualem Sansal
Authors: Nini Karim Zakaria
Published: December 2018

Nous proposons dans cette contribution de nous intéresser aux effets du terrorisme sur la société dépeinte dans Le Serment des barbares, premier roman de l’écrivain algérien Boualem Sansal. Dans cette fiction, l’auteur décrit une société quotidiennement soumise au terrorisme, un fléau qui vient s’ajouter à une histoire nationale parsemée de politiques dévastatrices pour l’équilibre social. Nous verrons dans cet article comment le terrorisme fait suite à une succession de traumatismes historiques qui agissent simultanément sur le quotidien et les imaginaires d’une société qui tente de résister à ces multiples violences qui lui sont imposées. Les blessures du terrorisme dans Le Serment des barbares viennent se rajouter aux séquelles encore palpables du colonialisme et des politiques oppressantes pour le citoyen menées après l’indépendance. Nous verrons comment cette succession de violences agit comme un facteur de dépossession sur l’individu et la société.

Lalande, écrivaine de passions et de combats
Authors: Bénit André
Published: December 2018

De par son vécu, Françoise Lalande sait qu’une enfance heureuse ou une enfance triste produisent des êtres au destin fort différent. Ceux qui, comme elle, ont grandi dans une famille « handicapée de l’amour » devront tout au long de leur vie chercher une impossible compensation que d’aucuns trouveront vaille que vaille dans l’expression d’un art, telles la littérature et l’écriture d’une (auto)fiction haute en couleur. Une existence de nomade, pleine de passions et combats, telle est la voie que s’est proposée cette humaniste d’une sensibilité à fleur de peau, dont nous retraçons, dans un premier temps, l’itinéraire bio-bibliographique, dans un second temps, le parcours fictionnel. Avec, en bout de course, l’apaisement et le bonheur que procurent la découverte d’un mystère longtemps caché et la victoire dans la dure lutte contre le fatum familial
D'un monde boiteux au bonheur retrouvé : abolition des contradictions dans quelques romans de Françoise Lalande
Authors: Renouprez Martine
Published: December 2018

Du Gardien d’abalones à Nous veillerons ensemble sur le sommeil des hommes, en passant par La Séduction des hommes tristes, Françoise Lalande trace la voie d’une compréhension des contradictions inhérentes à l’humain. Si celles-ci restent insolubles dans le premier roman au point d’en tuer la protagoniste (Louise Keil), elles trouvent un point de conciliation à travers l’amour des deux personnages de La Séduction des hommes tristes, en une fusion éphémère, car vouée à la mort. Cette contradiction irrésolue entre la vie et la mort, la plus insoluble sans doute, se dénoue dans l’amour entre trois personnages, qui, unis par une loyauté fraternelle, se donneront ensemble une mort douce.

La langue française dans la presse du Burkina Faso
Authors: Raschi Nataša
Published: December 2018

Maintes questions surgissent de l’analyse de la langue française dans la presse des pays francophones, en particulier de l’Afrique subsaharienne. Si dans certains cas on assiste à des créations inattendues ou à des changements révolutionnaires, dans d’autres cas on atteste une désinvolture dont les motivations sont difficiles à cerner. Il s’agit alors d’étudier la portée de cette langue seconde, et toujours officielle, pour en saisir l’évolution dans des contextes où elle se trouve à co-exister avec des langues ethniques aux aspects multiples et variés. Après avoir consacré une étude à la presse ivoirienne et une autre à la presse togolaise, nous voudrions analyser ici les articles des journaux burkinabè en ce qui concerne tant le lexique que la morpho-syntaxe. Ainsi, essayerons-nous de vérifier quelles sont les tendances qui s’imposent à l’heure actuelle non seulement à l’intérieur de ce domaine particulier, mais également par rapport aux recherches précédentes. Ce projet ne serait alors qu’une excuse ultérieure pour attester la vitalité et la richesse de la langue française en milieu francophone.
De la Francophonie “centripète” à une Francophonie périphérique
Authors: Marie Virgine
Published: December 2018

Résumé : La définition d’un français standardisé se développe massivement au moment où les termes de francophonie et régionalisme sont reconnus pour la première fois dans la langue. Mais entre leur première attestation à la fin du XIXe siècle et leur usage répandu dans les années 1960 et 1970, la réalité qu’ils dénotent et leur fréquence d’utilisation a fort évolué. En effet, dans un contexte historique qui présente un rapport contraignant entre la diversité des patois et un français national voire international, entre l’universel et le particulier, il ne semble pas étonnant que le terme francophonie renvoie à une vision essentialiste, monolithique et centrifuge de la langue française qui n’a de sens que dans un rapport généralisant avec la variation. Les années 60 marqueront le passage progressif de la tendance centrifuge universalisante à la tendance centripète particularisante qui tend à souligner et à afficher la variation. Dans le cadre de cet article nous montrerons que les réalités désignées par nos deux termes s’appuient sur le contexte néo-colonialiste et post-colonialiste, et que leur acception actuelle s’oriente vers une vision un peu plus décentralisée de la langue française. Nos observations prennent tout leur sens dans une problématique articulant les notions de centre et de périphérie et ouvrant ainsi une réflexion sur la dimension utopique de la Francophonie.
Family Resource Programs: Values, Evidence and Challenge
Authors: Gardiner Emily
Published: December 2018

Family resource programs are community-based initiatives that offer multidisciplinary services and resources to families with the aim of helping them to maximize their potential. Programs serve individuals who demonstrate a range of needs, and employ personnel who work from a strengths-based, empowerment-promoting perspective.  It is believed that adopting such a philosophy will promote the healthy development of the entire family system.  The author discusses the historical basis and theoretical underpinnings of current family resource models, and provides a review of current research.  Program elements identified as most effective are highlighted, and parents’ preferences and frustrations are discussed.  In doing so, critical practical and theoretical challenges are identified, and suggestions regarding essential areas for future inquiry are made.
Intervention of Hope: Sustaining Caregivers of Children with FASD through Therapeutic Psychoeducational Camps
Authors: Shepard Blythe , O'Neill Linda K.
Published: December 2018

Parents, whether adoptive, foster or biological, raising alcohol-affected children contend with the exhaustion of the care taking role. This article is a summary of the qualitative phase of a mixed-method study investigated the effect that attendance at a therapeutic caregiver-involved camp, Whitecrow Village Camp, had on caregivers of children with FASD.  In the qualitative phase, eighteen caregivers completed semi-structured interviews. Eight major content categories were identified in the data and five metathemes emerged under the overarching metatheme of a Life-Changing Experience: Providing Hope.  Analysis of the data suggests that attendance at Whitecrow Village Camp had a positive influence on the coping behaviour of caregivers of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD).
Daughters of Single Fathers: Working as a Team
Authors: Currie Heather , Sider Steve
Published: December 2018

In this paper, we consider the perspectives of daughters of single fathers as they reflect on their experiences and relationships with their fathers. The paper provides an opportunity to consider an under-represented group in the literature on single parent families. Three themes emerge from the qualitative research design: parental expectations and involvement, household tasks, and family relationships. We consider these themes in light of the work done by Bronte-Tinkew et al (2010) and Risman (1986) regarding the involvement and support of single fathers in the lives of their children. We conclude by providing suggestions for teachers and other professionals regarding single fathers and their daughters.
A Review of the Literature on Sexual Development of Older Adults in Relation to the Asexual Stereotype of Older Adults
Authors: Kenny Róisín
Published: December 2018

There is a prevalence of an asexual stereotype in regard to older adults. This paper reviews sexual development later in life from three different vantage points to explore why and how this stereotype exists. The vantage points are changes in social life, physical development, and psychological development. Older adults are often less engaged in society due to retirement, hence they have fewer opportunities to meet new partners. However now the internet is used a forum for older adults to meet new partners, so social barriers are easily overcome. Furthermore, the pervasive social influence of the media, reinforces and perpetuates the asexual stereotype in society by narrowly portraying older adults as asexual. Normative physical changes that come with aging, such as menopause and erectile dysfunction, are frequently assumed to lead to asexuality. This is not necessarily true- those that see physical changes as natural adapt their sexual lives accordingly. Psychological factors that effect sexuality in later life are the internalization of societies prescription of what ‘normal’ sex life is for older adults. As a result it is common for older adults to deprioritize sex as a means to conform to ‘norms’ regarding sex later in life.
Challenges of the Visible Minority Families: Cultural Sensitivity to the Rescue
Authors: Yesufu Adenike
Published: December 2018

This paper not only attempts to outline in one location the many barriers faced by visible minority families in their attempt to integrate into Canadian Society, but it also seeks to offer the development of a new approach to the solution of the problem of Cultural Sensitivity. On the premise that education is transformational, programs like Global education, Multicultural Education, Intercultural Education, Antiracist Education, and Diversity Education have been instituted in Canadian schools. Unfortunately these programs have had serious problems and have been severely criticized in their implementation even by their supporters. They all have different focuses and agendas that do not strike at the core of the problems nascent to majority/minority dynamics in Canada. The ultimate goal of these programs, presumed to be able to attain cross-cultural competence, has left many wondering how effective these programs have been. McChesney (1996) wondered if there was hope for cultural studies. The problems of the visible minority immigrant families have seemed persistent. The frustrations of the younger generation of visible minority families continue to be bewildering. This writer feels it is time to change course.
Dual-Career Couples in Bangladesh: Exploring the Challenges
Authors: Sultana Nahneen , Tabassum Ayesha , Abdullah Abu Md.
Published: December 2018

With the increased opportunity of women’s education and employment, the numbers of dual-career couples are increasing in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. As a result, these couples are confronting various types of problems every day, as they need to maintain both the work and family role demands simultaneously. After an extensive literature review, the study was initiated to explore the challenges of dual-career couples in terms of Dhaka, Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was used as a means of data collection and the survey was conducted on 155 dual-career couples (N = 310) in Dhaka. Principle component analysis revealed nine challenges that are encountered by dual-career couples. These challenges include childcare, family-work conflicts, work-family conflicts, marital relations, dependency on others for housekeeping and childcare, personal well-being, family activity maintenance, housekeeping, and social relationship maintenance.

Conclusions are made regarding the complex nature of family situations, and specific improvements and suggestions for future studies of the effects of family situation on adolescent depression.
Test of Work-to-Family and Family-to-Work Models of Conflict and Satisfaction: An Analysis of Dual Career Couples in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Tasnuva , Tabassum Ayesha , Jahan Kursia
Published: December 2018

Greater access of women to education and the job market has led to the increased participation of women in professional employment throughout the world. Bangladesh is no exception from this trend of change which is creating the phenomenon of dual-career couples (two working people in a committed relationship). This trend has radically changed traditional family structures and gender roles in society. These types of couples need to integrate both their work and family life together. This is creating challenges for both dual-career couples and their employers. Past research has posited that the imbalance between work and family lives, or the conflict between work and family lives of the dual-career couples can significantly reduce employee productivity, performance, job satisfaction, family satisfaction, and life satisfaction. This, in turn, hinders the performance of a business by affecting its organizational innovation, efficiency, and effectiveness.The current study tested predictions regarding the nature of relationships among these variables on 180 dual career couples (N=360) in Bangladesh. Literature reviews suggested two forms of conflict; work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict among these dual career couples. Models were developed by addressing these two types of conflict and testing the relationship with various types of satisfaction. A structured questionnaire was used as the primary source for data collection. Results reveal that work-to-family conflict negatively predicts job satisfaction and life satisfaction. No evidence is found regarding the relationship of family-to-work conflict with job and family satisfaction.

The Effects of Neighbourhood, Community, and Social Networks on Marginalized Youths’ Well-being: An Arts-based Approach
Authors: De Leon Kevin , Ashbourne Lynda M , Robson Jane
Published: December 2018

Action research and arts-based activities were used to investigate the experiences of youths, ages 16-20 years, in the Guelph community who identified as being socially marginalized through poverty and/or unstable housing. The focus of the group was on identifying the influences of structural violence in their lives. As part of their discussions, they identified the ways in which their personal safety and well-being, their sense of feeling comfortable and included in the broader community, and their presence and role within this community were influenced by the ways others in their neighbourhoods and social networks treated them. In particular, they described the assumptions and treatment by others that were based on classism and ageism as excluding them and threatening their feelings of safety and well-being when living on the street and/or receiving social assistance. The youth group expressed these ideas through discussion, photovoice, and drawing their version of a ‘community map.’ This paper includes examples of these participant-produced arts projects to demonstrate their observations and ideas.
“Other” Characters: The Gendering and Racialization of “Disability” Within Newbery Award-Winning Books, 1922-2012
Authors: Nelson Adie , Nelson Veronica (Ronnie)
Published: December 2018

Disability rights activists have long urged recognition of the import of cultural representations and their salience in the Othering process. Previous research on children’s picture books and novels has noted that persons with disabilities are commonly depicted in stereotypic and dehumanizing ways. This article explores the extent to which stereotypes of disability may be gendered and/or racialized by examining children’s books that won the American Library Association’s Newbery Medal between 1922-2012. It notes that the crafting of female and male characters with disabilities within these books pays homage to traditional gender roles, images and symbols and, most notably, reiterates an active-masculine/passive-feminine dichotomization. In addition, these representations suggest how racial essentialism is implicated in the production of “disability” within children’s literature, with non-white “racial” identity equated with various forms of impairment.
Relational Care for Youth in North American Culture: A Case Study in Nova Scotia
Authors: Crowell Leah J
Published: December 2018

This article is a case study of relational care for youth in Canada. It examines some of the factors that contribute to and influence approaches to practice and levels of care for youth. This inquiry also provides an enriched understanding of some of the issues youth in care may face and highlights some of the nuanced intervention needs of youth that those working with youth should know. Through practical examples taken from observations of interactions and relationships between youth and practitioners in a residential setting, practice approaches and ensuing levels of care are assessed against the characteristics and objectives of relational care. This article adds to the literature on child and youth care practice with youth, relational practice in the field and research on child and youth care work within the residential milieu. It may also contribute to the literature on the criminalization of youth as well as rehabilitation and reform needs of at risk youth and be of use to educators, child and youth care practitioners, social workers, and the training institutions of these professionals.
Asparapocalypse
Authors: Trowbridge Terry
Published: December 2018

The poem imagines a cliché conflict between a parent and a child over eating asparagus. It capitalizes on the idea of telling a kid they can't leave the table until they try a bite of yucky food. It takes a twee turn toward the genre of horror by making allusions to the catacombs beneath Egyptian pyramids. The poem attempts to be either a vague monster movie shadow, or a Sesame Street style joke. As parents, we've all tried to walk an edgy-cute line, making allusions but staying creatively fun, even while exasperated.

Authors: Giampa Lori M. , Symbaluk Diane G.
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to identify factors that contributed to the successful transition off academic probation for undergraduate students at MacEwan University1. Focus groups were conducted with volunteers enrolled in any of the main faculties/schools who had successfully to taking time off from university, changing programs, or personal growth. Students underutilized available support services while on academic probation largely due to feelings of embarrassment and shame. Recommendations for institutional improvements centered on personalized approaches that identified existing resources such as listing resources along with contact information in notification of academic probation letters sent to struggling students. Finally, those who successfully transitioned off probation also emphasized the need for personal contact with university staff to help understand the implications of academic probation, and the steps required to successfully transition off it.
A Death in the Family: The Differential Impacts of Losing a Loved One
Authors: Glatt Amber
Published: December 2018

This paper will look at how the death of an immediate family member affects the surviving family members, as well as how it impacts the family structure. The death of a parent, the death of a spouse, the death of a child, and the death of a sibling will all be examined and compared to see how these different situations impact different members of the family. Variables such as age, gender, and relation to the deceased turn out to be important predictive factors in how an individual copes with the loss. The family structure must be reorganized after the loss of one of its members, but how families go about this restructuring differs immensely. How the family is restructured has major implications for how the family is able function after the death. Learning how both individuals and family units grieve the loss of an immediate family member and examining the differences, can lead to a better understanding of what grieving processes are the most effective.
A Pragmatic Approach to Social Work
Authors: Kolly Maryam
Published: December 2018

In this article, my professional practice and participative observation form a basis to examine the way views are formed on the process of domination and stigmatisation of youths. How can we move from a known consensual fact – that youths of immigrant origin are stigmatised – to a formulation of the problem that reveals the dissenter potential of these young people and the way they challenge the social workers’ own sense of belonging? The pragmatic approach aims to restore the principle of equality to its true role and to formulate the issues so that they may lead to potentials for action.
A Creative Letter Inspired by Reading Maria Campbell’s Notable Memoir “Half-Breed” (1973)
Authors: Woods Karli
Published: December 2018

This creative letter (as set out below) was inspired due to reading Maria Campbell’s notable memoir “Half-Breed” which was published in 1973. I had the pleasure of taking a third-year Indigenous Feminist Literature class in September 2017 and our first reading assignment was to read “Half-Breed” and critically engage in the discourse in class discussions. I was assigned to read numerous Indigenous memoirs and to read a lot of Indigenous feminist poetry. With this explosion of literature, I was given the task to create a scrapbook presenting “Half-Breed” through creative writing, art work, poetry, and connecting it with a feminist and cultural lens. I thought it would be wonderful to create a response letter to Maria Campbell, explaining my thoughts and ideas surrounding her memoir. I wanted to create a letter that was open-minded, packed with critical thinking, and to challenge stereotypical notions of Indigenous literature – I wanted to break down those barriers and do my best to understand and appreciate this memoir because I fell in love with it after reading it. I kept returning back to vivid passages that had a lot of warmth, strength, and pride in families and communities. Youth is supposed to be an age of innocence, naivety, and adventure. Yet, for Maria Campbell, her time of youth and adolescence was very difficult and harsh – yet there were trinkets of wisdom and hope. Especially with the relationship and bond with her grandmother Cheechum – a powerful person and family anchor that held the family together in difficult times. Maria Campbell revolutionized the importance and preciousness of family in this memoir for me. Grandmothers are important teachers for children especially from an emotional stance for Maria Campbell. I believe building a strong emotional bond and community bond is what builds a person’s character, strength, and kindness. Maria Campbell illustrated these treasured qualities that cannot be taught in the academic classroom – but through her strong ties with her grandmother and community. Maria Campbell’s grandmother Cheechum bequeathed her strength and resilience to deter her struggles in a spiritual and emotional sense. This memoir was definitely awe-inspiring and the reason for why I wanted to create an artistic medium of writing a letter commentary to Maria Campbell.
Resilience and Educational Pathways: A Longitudinal Analysis of Low Reading Achievers
Authors: Thiessen Victor
Published: December 2018

Utilizing the first three cycles of the Canadian longitudinal Youth in Transition Survey (YITS), this paper analyses the educational pathways of 6,342 Canadian youth who at age 15 scored below the level considered necessary for effective functioning in a knowledge-based society. The concept of resilience is integrated into a broader sociological framework of acceptance of cultural goals and access to the means for achieving these goals. Within this framework, the multiple effects of two components of resilience on educational outcomes are assessed: a) the availability of social and institutional supports and b) youth’s own attitudes, values and behaviours that enabled some of them to overcome the obstacle associated with their limited reading performance. Multinomial logistic regression was used to show that a variety of possible measures of resilience differentiate between dropping out, completing high school, and participating in postsecondary education. Additionally, some aspects of resilience are more effective for avoiding the worst educational outcome (dropping out) while others appear to facilitate achieving the best outcome (participating in postsecondary education). The paper concludes that resilience is better viewed as a sensitizing than a theoretical concept.
News Discussion Project
Authors: Zagar John
Published: December 2018

The Edmonton Sun newspaper recently carried an interesting article entitled "Maybe U.S. needs yard sale" written by Eric Margolis. In Eric Margolis's article, he talks about the recent financial crisis devastating the Unites States of America's (US) economy, along with much of the other global economies as well (Margolis, 2008). The current economic situation has been blamed on the tendency of certain banks to lend out loans (at low interest rates) to individuals and corporations who do not have the funds to payback those loans. This mistake has occurred in nation-states such as the United States, and Iceland. However, Eric Margolis article is not about the causes of the current economic crisis per se, but rather on the irony of the whole situation facing the United States as a consequence of their belief in neo-liberalism and their treatment of other nation-states. However, first we will look at the specific article.

Different Images of Knowledge and Perspectives of Pedagogy in Confucius and Socrates
Authors: Jianwei Zhong
Published: December 2018

Confucius and Socrates, two cultural icons of the East and West, both declared they did “not know,” which, however, held different concepts for them. First, I will critically examine their dialogue teaching practices to analyze the implications of “knowing" and “not knowing.” Second, I will explore the different images of knowledge and visions of pedagogy each held.
Schools and Complexity
Authors: Trombly Christopher Edmund
Published: December 2018

As schools, districts, and the overall education system are complex entities, both the approaches taken to improve them and the methods used to study them must be similarly complex.  Simple solutions imposed with no regard for schools’ or districts’ unique contexts hold little promise, while seemingly insignificant differences between those contexts affect in seemingly disproportionate ways the quality and success with which they implement the same programs.  Context must be taken very much into account when initiatives are planned and implemented, as well as when their impacts are investigated.
Complexity, Methodology and Method: Crafting a Critical Process of Research
Authors: Alhadeff-Jones Michel
Published: December 2018

This paper defines a theoretical framework aiming to support the actions and reflections of researchers looking for a ‘method’ in order to critically conceive the complexity of a scientific process of research. First, it starts with a brief overview of the core assumptions framing Morin’s “paradigm of complexity” and Le Moigne’s “general system theory”. Distinguishing ‘methodology’ and ‘method’, the framework is conceived based on three moments, which represent recurring stages of the spiraling development of research. The first moment focuses on the definition of the research process and its sub-systems (author, system of ideas, object of study and method) understood as a complex form of organization finalized in a specific environment. The second moment introduces a matrix aiming to model the research process and nine core methodological issues, according to a programmatic and critical approach. Using the matrix previously modeled, the third moment suggests conceiving of the research process following a strategic mindset that focuses on contingencies, in order to locate, share and communicate the path followed throughout the inquiry.
Early childhood educators’ experiences in their work environments: Shaping (im)possible ways of being an educator?
Authors: Cumming Tamara
Published: December 2018

Efforts to support early childhood workforce stability over many years, and across many national contexts have had limited success. Research and policy attention appears to be shifting to ways of supporting the sustainability of the early childhood workforce, and, ways that educators’ experiences in their work environments might be implicated in these issues. The purpose of this paper is to explore the complex interrelations between educators’ work environments and their experiences, as an entryway for thinking differently about workforce sustainability. A rhizoanalytic approach is used to explore one educator’s experiences in her work environment, through readings of visual, textual and affective data. The readings of (im)possible ways of being an educator shaped by this work environment,  are then used as prompts for thinking differently about workforce stability and sustainability. The paper concludes with calls for an approach to supporting workforce stability and sustainability, that is based on the recognition of the interrelatedness and mutual interests of children, educators, families and governments.
When Time Makes a Difference: Addressing Ergodicity and Complexity in Education
Authors: Koopmans Matthijs
Published: December 2018

The detection of complexity in behavioral outcomes often requires an estimation of their variability over a prolonged time spectrum to assess processes of stability and transformation. Conventional scholarship typically relies on snapshots to analyze those outcomes, assuming that group means and their associated standard deviations, computed across individuals, are sufficient to characterize the educational outcomes that inform policy, and that time does not matter in this context. In its statistically abstract form, the assumption that you can rely on snapshots is referred to as the ergodicity assumption. This paper argues that ergodicity cannot be taken for granted in educational data. The first section discusses artificially generated time series trajectories to illustrate ergodicity (white noise) and three types of non-ergodicity: short-term correlations between observations, long-term correlations (pink noise) and infinite correlations (Brownian motion). A second section presents daily attendance data observed in two urban high schools over a seven year period to show that these data are non-ergodic and suggest complexity. These findings offer a counter-example to the efficacy of using time-independent measures (‘snapshots’) to measure educational outcomes.
Transforming Teacher Education Thinking: Complexity and Relational Ways of Knowing
Authors: Sanford Katherine Jane , Hopper Timothy Frank , Starr Lisa
Published: December 2018

In order that teacher education programs can act as significant scaffolds in supporting new teachers to become informed, creative and innovative members of a highly complex and valuable profession, we need to re-imagine ways in which teacher education programs operate. We need to re-imagine how courses are conceptualized and connected, how learning is shared and how knowledge, not just “professional”, but embedded knowledge in authentic contexts of teaching and learning is understood, shaped and re-applied. Drawing on our study of a locally developed program in secondary teacher education called Transformative University of Victoria (TRUVIC), we offer a relational approach to knowing as an alternative to more mechanistic explanations that limit teacher growth and development. To ground our interpretation, we draw on complexity theory as a theory of change and emergence that supports learning as distributed, relational, adaptive and emerging.
