Corona: Kritik in der Krise
Authors: Korf Benedikt
Published: December 2020

Bewaffnete Konflikte führen zu Vertreibung einer großen Anzahl von Menschen. Die Sicherstellung von Bildungsmöglichkeiten in humanitären Notsituationen und für flüchtende Menschen hat in den letzten Jahren große Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Dabei wurde eine spezifische Gruppe vernachlässigt: Binnenvertriebene. Dieser Artikel zeigt, dass diese mangelnde Berücksichtigung problematisch ist, da Binnenvertriebene die größte Anzahl aller Vertriebenen darstellen. Der Artikel diskutiert zuerst die negativen Auswirkungen von Vertreibung auf Bildungsangebote und -möglichkeiten und erläutert, warum die schnelle Bereitstellung von Bildungsmöglichkeiten für Binnenvertriebene wichtig ist. Ein Mangel an Daten steht dem jedoch im Weg. Der Artikel erläutert, warum grundlegende Daten zu Binnenvertriebenen für die Versorgung mit Bildungsangeboten in humanitären Notsituationen relevant sind. Abschließend analysiert er verschiedene Gründe für die unzureichende Datenlage. Mit dem Artikel ist auch das Ziel verbunden, das Forschungsfeld Bildung in Notsituationen stärker in den Fokus deutschsprachiger Diskussionen zu bringen. Die Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie auf Bildungssysteme unterstreichen die Wichtigkeit dieses Forschungsfeldes.

Authors: Aryal Lok Nath , Regmi Rajendra , Lohani Santosh , Bhusal Yubaraj
Published: December 2020

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.) is a major grain legume used as vegetables and pulses. Among the several insect pest of cowpea, spotted pod borer is one of the most destructive pest. To evaluate the available chemical pesticides for pod borer management, a set of field experiments on cowpea variety Malepatan-1 were conducted at Horticulture Research Station, Malepatan, Pokhara in years 2019 and 2020. The experiments were laid out in Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD) having seven  treatments viz.Flubendiamide 39.35 % SC @ 0.3 mL/L, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 % SC @ 0.2 mL/L, Emamectin benzoate 5 % SG @0.3 g/L, Spinosad 45 % SC @0.3 mL/L, Bacillus thuringiensis Kurstaki @2g/L, Azadirechtin 0.03%@ 5mL/L and Control with four replications. Flubendiamide 39.35 % SC @ 0.3 mL/L and Emamectin benzoate 5 % SG @0.3 g/L were found the most effective insecticides in lowering cowpea flower and pod damage with highest benefit cost ratio; however, considering environment, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 % SC @ 0.2 mL/L and Spinosad 45 % SC @0.3 mL/L being next effective treatments could be viable option to manage spotted pod borer in cowpea production.

Authors: López Chavarrío Marcela , Hincapié Parra Dalia Andrea , Rodríguez Rodríguez Manuela , Peña Ospino Alexander Iván , Pinzón Rojas Nestor Ricardo , Consuelo Rodríguez Nandy
Published: December 2020

La necesidad de mejorar las competencias de los futuros profesionales en salud ha conducido a repensar la manera como se imparten los conocimientos a los estudiantes y de cómo ellos podrían aprender de manera significativa. Actualmente, el aula invertida (AI) o flipped classroom (FC) se convierte en una estrategia de enseñanza alternativa en el campo de la educación en salud. Incentiva el aprendizaje del estudiante al promover la autonomía en el abordaje de los conocimientos antes de cada clase, favorece la motivación, el aprendizaje activo, colaborativo y significativo durante las sesiones presenciales, de tal manera que permite desarrollar el pensamiento crítico para una formación profesional idónea. Al realizar una revisión de la literatura se evidenció un amplio uso del AI en educación en salud con resultados positivos frente a la educación tradicional. Además, las tecnologías juegan un papel importante para presentar contenidos y ejecutar actividades fuera y dentro del aula. Se presentan algunas evidencias de la efectividad del AI en educación médica, cómo podría implementarse en nuestras aulas y la diversidad de recursos disponibles para usar en los diferentes escenarios que plantea esta estrategia.
Neoliberalism and Academia in Communication and Media Studies: A New Institutional Framework
Authors: Carrasco-Campos Ángel , Saperas Enric
Published: December 2020

The disciplinary field of communication refers to a changing object of study, whose material delimitation depends on the political, socioeconomic and technological contexts in which it develops. These factors must be considered as structural elements, as they determine the knowledge demands and agenda of academia. This article aims to describe the keys to understanding the influence of neoliberalism as an ideology and structure in the academic institutionalisation of the field of communication. The analysis will take into special consideration the institutional dimension of research activity as a determining factor to understand the standards that define the dominant paradigm in neoliberal academia. These standards are shared by professionals in relation to working routines, research methodologies, objects of study, theoretical procedures, academic contexts, and dominant traditions, as well as strategies for the development of professional careers.

Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang diakritik al-Quran/al-d}abt, yang menitik beratkan pada aspek tanda baca, baik syakal/harakat maupun titik/nuqt menurut preferensi Abu>> Da>wu>d Sulaima>n bin Najja>h}.  Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kepustakaan, karena data diperoleh, dianalisis dari sumber primer yang merupakan karya beliau dengan judul us}u>l al-d}abt wa kaifiyatuhu ‘ala jihhah al-ikhtis}a>r. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, preferensi Abu> Dawud dilandasi oleh beberapa hal: 1) Tanda diakritik harus dilihat dari aspek s}ifa>t al-h}uru>f  seperti (ط - ت) pada kata (بسطت), huruf (ط) tanpa dibubuhi sukun karena sifatnya it}ba>q, 2)   b)  Tanda diakritik ma>d pada kata (الشُّفَعٰؤُاْ- أَتُحٰجُّوْنِي - فَأْوُاْ - تَأْوِيْلَهُ ) beliau cenderung memilih pendapat menghilangkan huruf alif, wa>w  maupun ya>‘ pada mad, c) Pada tanda diakritik hamzah seperti (أَءَنْذَرْتَهُمْ -ءَأُنْزِلَ - أَءِذَامِتْنَا), beliau membenarkan kedua bentuk penulisan hamzah, sesuai dengan madzhab qira>’at al-kisa>’i dan al-Farra>‘,  d) Tanda diakritik pada kata yang memiliki dua huruf ya>‘ (النَّبِيِّيْنَ - اَلأُمِّيِّيْنَ - رَبٰنِيِّيْنَ) Abu Dawud berbeda dengan pendapat gurunya al-Dani, dan memilih membuang ya>‘ jama‘ketimbang ya>’ as}li> yang menjadi akar kata, e) Meletakkan tanda diakritik berbentuk lingkaran (الدائرة) sebagai simbol ziya>dah ya>’, yang tidak dibaca (نبإي-أَفإِين),  sedangkan pada kata (بأييد) yang memiliki dua ya>‘, Abu> Dawud meletakkan tanda sukun pada ya>’ pertama, sebagai pembeda antara ya>‘ as}li> dan ya>‘ za>idah. Adapun untuk ya>‘ kedua pada surah al-Qalam (بأييكم) beliau memberi tanda diakritik tasydi>d yang harus dibaca idgam karena bertemunya dua huruf yang sama.
الدراسة البلاغية فى أسلوب القصر عند معانى اللغة العربية حول سورة آل عمران
Authors: Abrar Muhammad
Published: December 2020

ملخص البحثالقصر يدل على بلاغة القرآن من حيث إنه من ضروب الإيجاز الذي هو أعظم ركن من أركان البلاغة، إذ أن جملة فى مقام جملتين، فقولك ما كامل إلا الله تعادل قولك، الكمال لله، وليس كامل غيره. وهو أيضا يحدّد المعاني تحديدا كاملا. وفائدة القصر وأسلوبه أنه يجعل الجملة الواحدة مقام جملتين مع الإيجاز، ويمكن الكلام ويقرّره فى الذهن ، وينفي عن الفكر كل إنكار وشكّ. ويجد الباحث فى أقسام القصر باعتبار الحقيقة الموجودة فى سورة آل عمران، هي: أن القصر الحقيقي في سورة آل عمران ١٧ قصر. والقصر الإضافي فيها ١٩ قصرا. أما باعتبار القصر الإضافي ينقسم القصر إلى قصر إفراد وقصر قلب وقصر تعيين. وبعد مالاحظ الباحث فى سورة آل عمران وجد أن قصر قلب ١٣ وقصر الإفراد ١  وقصر التعيين٥. طرق القصر المستخدمة فى سورة آل عمران هي :إنما" وهي فى خمس آيات، أما "النفي والإستثناء" فتكونان فى الآيات. أما "تقديم ما، حقه التأخير" فيكون فى الآيات وأما "العطف بلكن" أما العطف ببل" فيكون فى آيتين.
A Comparison of Approaches for Measuring the Semantic Similarity of Short Texts Based on Word Embeddings
Authors: Babić Karlo , Guerra Francesco , Martinčić-Ipšić Sanda , Meštrović Ana
Published: December 2020

Measuring the semantic similarity of texts has a vital role in various tasks from the field of natural language processing. In this paper, we describe a set of experiments we carried out to evaluate and compare the performance of different approaches for measuring the semantic similarity of short texts. We perform a comparison of four models based on word embeddings: two variants of Word2Vec (one based on Word2Vec trained on a specific dataset and the second extending it with embeddings of word senses), FastText, and TF-IDF. Since these models provide word vectors, we experiment with various methods that calculate the semantic similarity of short texts based on word vectors. More precisely, for each of these models, we test five methods for aggregating word embeddings into text embedding. We introduced three methods by making variations of two commonly used similarity measures. One method is an extension of the cosine similarity based on centroids, and the other two methods are variations of the Okapi BM25 function. We evaluate all approaches on the two publicly available datasets: SICK and Lee in terms of the Pearson and Spearman correlation. The results indicate that extended methods perform better from the original in most of the cases.
Development of a Models of Interpersonal Competencies as a Complex System
Authors: Blažinić Boris , Gotal Dmitrović Lovorka , Stojić Marko
Published: December 2020

Competencies represent a dynamic combination of cognitive and metacognitive skills, knowledge and understanding, interpersonal and practical skills, and ethical values. Since there are many entities, as well as many activities between entities, according to system theory, the whole system belongs to complex systems. The paper develops a conceptual and computational model of interpersonal competences for the process of optimization and methodology design, using simulation modeling. The developed model enables: faster data collection, more accurate results, avoiding human error in data entry and processing, survey time can be measured and more easily restricted, NMAR (Not Missing at Random) data is avoided and socially desirable responses are more easily avoided.
Use of Internet Social Networks in Academic Environment
Authors: Cenková Renáta , Steingartner William
Published: December 2020

Numerous national and private Slovak universities and colleges are currently confronted with a state, where the offer of study programmes exceeds its demand - students’ interests. This paper describes reasons for this situation but mainly it points out the fact that the advent of information and communication technologies significantly intervened in different areas of life and all types of communication. The implementation of some tools of internet social networks in the academic environment is, therefore, essential. In addition to the theoretical background, the paper also includes case study related to the creation of a new Facebook profile #MaŠtu, setting up specific online marketing key performance indicators (KPI) and monitoring them using both Facebook analytics metrics and the social networking tool for administration, ZoomSphere.
Symbolic Capital and Relationships of Flow: Canada, Europe, and the International Performing Arts Festival Circuit
Authors: Ferguson Alex Lazaridis
Published: December 2020

The essay examines the political and creative relationships between curators and artists operating in the field of cultural production known as the international performance festival circuit. Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic capital, a metaphorical currency that confers prestige on an individual and is exchanged between agents vying for status and power in the field, is applied to both the overall dynamic of the festival network and to individuals who occupy positions in the network. The social Darwinist character of Bourdieu’s theory is balanced by a group of theories that describe the gestalt of an aesthetic encounter as something sought-after, treasured, and undertaken for its own sake. Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of flow, Dewey’s theory of qualitative thought, and Fischer-Lichte’s “radical concept of presence” help make the case that aesthetic encounters have the potential to become what the essay calls “touchstone experiences”: somatically felt events that are prized by curators and artists, and that become the basis for the drive to accumulate symbolic capital—capital which is then leveraged to create more touchstone experiences. Curators and artists on both sides of the Atlantic are interviewed, providing personal insight into the creative and practical concerns that drive them to develop work for the festival circuit. What emerges is a complex web of relationships among the various producers of performance in this particular field of cultural production: the festival network becomes, for the artist, either a potential market in which to promote work or a restrictive gate that blocks access to a larger audience; the curator becomes both a gate-keeper regulating access and a cultural agent providing a platform for cultural exchange and offering local artists exposure to diverse practices from elsewhere. The differences in real and symbolic wealth between the Canadian and European contexts is also considered in the essay, with an emphasis on how European cultural institutions provide opportunities and obstacles to Canadian artists seeking to promote their work overseas.
Représentations des relations entre hégémonie et minorités dans trois pièces de théâtre franco-canadiennes
Authors: Côté Nicole
Published: December 2020

Cet article porte sur les représentations littéraires de la minorisation linguistique et culturelle des Franco-Canadiens et leurs négociations avec l’hégémonie anglaise telles qu’elles sont représentées dans le théâtre franco-canadien de l’Ouest. Les productions théâtrales franco-canadiennes constituent des artéfacts culturels témoins des négociations des francophones minoritaires avec l’hégémonique anglophone. Elles donnent à entendre un hétérolinguisme particulier qui reflète l’auto-traduction des populations dont elles sont issues et témoigne de leurs constantes négociations avec l’hégémonie anglophone. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que dans les pièces de théâtres franco-canadiennes soient représentées des identités sociales dont le noyau est particulièrement instable : cette instabilité serait le gage d’une ouverture à l’autre, d’une grande capacité d’adaptation. L’analyse portera sur les relations entre le minoritaire et l’hégémonique, avant de se pencher sur l’hétérolinguisme dans quelques pièces de dramaturges franco-canadiens de l’Ouest : Elephant Wake, de Joey Tremblay ; Sex, Lies et les Franco-Manitobains, L’année du Big Mac et Fort Mac, de Marc Prescott ; et Rearview, de Gilles Poulin-Denis.
A Mobile Social Realm: Labour, Sovereignty, and Subjecthood in Disabled Theater/Affordance Creations of Disability Performance: Limits of a Disabled Theater
Authors: Zien Katherine , Dokumaci Arseli
Published: December 2020

To be read alongside Arseli Dokumaci’s contribution to this issue, Katherine Zien’s article treats questions of ethics, affect, labor, and autonomy in Disabled Theater (DT), a performance created by Swiss performing company Theatre HORA and French choreographer Jérôme Bel. DT evinces traits of the artistic production of both contributors, yet HORA has made the piece its own by touring it around the world, for over 100 performances since its premiere in 2012. For better or worse, DT has become a signature piece for HORA and, in Zien’s terms, a “mobile social realm” offering a space where members of HORA can experiment with new ways of living and working together. The ethical and social dimensions of DT – and company members’ responses to them – have conditioned HORA’s expanded investigation of aesthetic and political control and collaboration that performance scholar Yvonne Schmidt examines in later productions. In addition to providing room for political and aesthetic exploration, DT’s mobile social realm can impact the communities in which it is performed. While this effect may not always be feasible in a festival setting, conditions at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada were such that when HORA performed there on March 30-31, 2015, questions of disability, autonomy, and access to the city rose forcefully to the fore. Reflecting on her feelings of productive discomfort around the 2015 performance, Zien seeks a response to DT’s fractured reception in a melange of concrete poetry and prose.
Infrequently Asked Questions, or: How to Kickstart Conversations Around Inclusion and Accessibility in Canadian Theatre and Why it Might be Good for Everybody
Authors: Derbyshire Jan
Published: December 2020

I have a habit of liking to flip the familiar. In theatre this manifests as a driving obsession to look for artistic practices and models that work well for institutes, companies, and creators and ask: is this the way you’ve always done things? It’s a good question to start the rock rolling on issues of diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. No matter what the answer is, I like to invite people to start a conversation, to ask who is involved in these successful systems and who isn’t? Not everyone is interested. Heidi Taylor, Artistic and Executive Director of the Playwrights’ Theatre Centre (PTC) in Vancouver, is. Together we developed ACK Lab, an investigation on how to make the PTC Playwright’s Colony, a yearly writing intensive at PTC, more inclusive and accessible to persons with perceived or self-identified disabilities. It was graciously funded by the Bly Capacity grant, a LAMDA initiative and a Canada Council “Leadership for Change” grant. It involved six months of intense conversations and a ten-day workshop during December 2015.
Changing the Shape of Things: A Reflection on Power, Privilege, and the Benefits of Institutional Transformation
Authors: Garton Stantley Sarah
Published: December 2020

I have spent my life in privilege. I am white. I come from a very comfortable middle-class family. I was born in Canada. I was given access to the best schools and have had a life filled with wonderful work opportunities. I came out as queer in my twenties, was Artistic Director of Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in my thirties, and in my forties I brought it all to a head with both the creation of The Failure Show: A 13-point manifesto for the consideration of failure, and the completion of an MA in Cultural Studies from Queen’s University.1Now in my fifties I find myself at Canada’s National Arts Centre (NAC), working in English Theatre with Jillian Keiley and the rest of the team. Of all the things that have changed since I was born, my privilege has remained the same but my sense of it has changed completely.
Raymond Lemaire et les débuts de la rénovation urbaine à Bruxelles
Authors: Houbart Claudine
Published: December 2020

Since the end of the 1960s, the archaeologist Raymond Lemaire, professor at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, has contributed to the questioning of the urban renovation methods adopted by the technical department of the City of Brussels administration for the most ancien districts of the historic centre. Through his role as an expert for the association « Quartier des Arts », he is entrusted with several studies aiming at the adoption of normative plans for some building blocks of high heritage interest. This allows him to put the principles he contributes to define, at the same moment, within international organizations such as icomosor the Council of Europe, to the test ofreality. Our contribution aims, through the significant example of the renovation of the « Sainte-Anne district », to throw light on this key moment of Brussels urbanism’s recent history and to take a critical look at RaymondLemaire’s work.
Rooster Town: Winnipeg’s Lost Métis Suburb, 1900–1960
Authors: Burley David G.
Published: December 2020

In the spring of 1959 the City of Winnipeg ordered the removal of fourteen families, mostly Métis, from land needed for the construction of a new high school in south Winnipeg. For at least a decade, the presence of Rooster Town, as the squatters’ shantytown was known, had drawn complaints from residents of the new middle-class suburbs who objected to the proximity of families of mixed ancestry who seemed indolent, immoral, and irresponsible and whose children brought contagious diseases into the elementary school. Suburban anxieties gave expression to a much deeper municipal colonialism that since the incorporation of Winnipeg had denied Aboriginal people a place in the city. Various agencies of municipal governance and the processes of urban development dispossessed indigenous peoples and pushed them farther onto the edges of the city until no space remained for them. The removal of Rooster Town erased the last visible evidence of a continuing Métis community that had survived in the area since the nineteenth century and that at its peak in the 1930s had numbered several hundred residents.
The City, the Country, and Toronto’s Bloor Viaduct, 1897–1919
Authors: Murnaghan Ann Marie F.
Published: December 2020

There are certain structures in cities that exemplify the grandiose designs of the city builders at the turn of the twentieth century. The Prince Edward or Bloor Viaduct is one of these structures crossing Toronto’s key landform, the Don Valley, immortalized in Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion. Plans to build the bridge emerged as early as 1897, although the construction did not begin until 1913. The Bloor Viaduct can help us consider the progressive era by examining how discussions of nature/culture and country/city were incorporated into the discourses of its planning and construction. Technically, the bridge was an engineering feat spanning three valleys, making east-west travel in the growing city more efficient, improving the transportation of food and lumber. Symbolically, this monument highlighted the ability to overcome nature with a bridge and bring an aestheticized nature to the city. This contradiction between overcoming and improving access to nature is built into the bridge’s planning and construction history. By exploring the symbolic and material aspects of this bridge, the contradictions of nature in the process of nation building appear more striking.
William Zeckendorf, Place Ville-Marie, and the Making of Modern Montreal
Authors: Nerbas Don
Published: December 2020

The Place Ville-Marie development was central to the renovation of Montreal during the 1950s and 1960s. Its cruciform office tower transformed the city’s skyline and marked the removal of the city’s financial district from St. James Street to the new alley of skyscrapers on Dorchester Boulevard (now Boulevard René Lévesque). Earlier studies have emphasized the role of modern planning in the making of Place Ville-Marie and other post–Second World War urban re­development projects. This article advances an interpretation of Place Ville-Marie as a capital investment in the “production of space.” The project was a highly speculative effort by its developer, William Zeckendorf, to utilize monumental architecture to sell prestige to corporate tenants. This took place in specific, historically contingent, and politically contested circumstances. In a period when modernization was a powerful and popular idea, Zeckendorf cultivated a myth about Place Ville-Marie that accommodated and absorbed nationalist aspirations within Montreal and Canada that were fixed upon the panacea of modernization. While Zeckendorf’s financial woes and the overcapacity of office space that Place Ville-Marie helped create contradicted the project’s mythic image, Place Ville-Marie also embodied new capitalist values and the rise of new capitalist forces in the city.
Smelter Fumes, Local Interests, and Political Contestation in Sudbury, Ontario, during the 1910s
Authors: Munton and Owen Temby Don
Published: December 2020

During the second half of the 1910s the problem of sulphur smoke in Sudbury, Ontario, pitted farmers against the mining-smelting industry that comprised the dominant sector of the local economy. Increased demand for nickel from World War I had resulted in expanded activities in the nearby Copper Cliff and O’Donnell roast yards, which in turn produced more smoke and destroyed crops. Local business leaders, represented by the Sudbury Board of Trade, sought to balance the needs of the agriculture and mining-smelting sectors and facilitate their coexistence in the region. Among the measures pursued, farmers and some Board of Trade members turned to nuisance litigation, with the objective of obtaining monetary awards and injunctions affecting the operation of the roast yards. While the amounts of the awards were disappointing for the farmers, the spectre of an injunction was sufficient to convince the provincial government to ban civil litigation in favour of an arbitration process accommodating industry. This article provides an account of the political activism over Sudbury’s smoke nuisance that failed to bring about emission controls, highlighting the contextual factors contributing to this failure.
Reconstruction Reconsidered: Thomas Adams’s Role in Rebuilding the “Devastated Area” after the 1917 Halifax Disaster
Authors: Cahill Barry
Published: December 2020

Though English urban planner Thomas Adams’s connection with reconstruction after the 1917 Halifax Disaster (“Halifax Explosion”) is well known, the precise nature and extent of his involvement has not been subject to rigorous research or informed analysis and, as a result, is neither known nor understood. Perhaps least-known is Adams’s crucial working relationship with the Halifax Relief Commission, the federal government body set up seven weeks after the disaster to take complete charge of emergency management. This article addresses a significant lacuna in early Canadian planning history as well as in the history of recovery from the Halifax Disaster. The history of reconstruction itself, which has yet to be written, can ill-afford to magnify or misrepresent Adams’s significant contribution to it.
Humphrey Carver and the Federal Government’s Postwar Revival of Canadian Community Planning
Authors: Gordon David L.A.
Published: December 2020

Humphrey S.M. Carver (1902–1995) played an important role in the federal government’s revival of Canadian community planning following the Second World War and guiding Canada’s transformation into a suburban nation. Carver was a senior executive at Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) from 1948 until his retirement in 1967. While Carver’s work as a housing advocate is well documented, his role as an advocate for community planning is less known. He was the founding vice-president of the Community Planning Association of Canada (CPAC) in 1947, president of the Town Planning Institute of Canada (TPIC), 1963–4, and a vice-president of the American Society of Planning Officials. While at CMHC, he assisted in the rapid national expansion of the CPAC and the 1953 resuscitation of the TPIC. His agency funded the establishment of the first five Canadian planning schools, hundreds of planning scholarships, and millions of dollars in planning research and planning studies.
The Romance of Boys Bathing in Toronto’s Don River, 1890–1930
Authors: Barbour Dale
Published: December 2020

This article uses a study of Toronto in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to upend assumptions about class, the urban environment, and the presentation of the naked body. Rather than attempting to drive bathers out of urban space, the city’s middle class viewed the bathing boy through the lens of anti-modernism and turned them into pre-industrial folk figures. Puncturing the nostalgic gloss of the swimming hole allows us to see the city with new eyes. We can avoid declensionist narratives that imagined Toronto’s Don River as too polluted or too industrial for recreational use. When we follow the bathers we find that the marginal, semi-industrialized river provided an ideal recreational space that cloaked and contained the undressed male body. This project relies on newspaper accounts of drownings and rescues, municipal records, regional histories, and visual culture to recreate the social environment of early twentieth-century bathing spaces.
L’émeute des tramways de Montréal (1955) et la mauvaise conduite des étudiantsߙ: un cas d’appropriation de l’espace urbain
Authors: Poitras Daniel
Published: December 2020

L’émeute des tramways de 1955, qui a paralysé Montréal pendant toute une journée, demeure un épisode méconnu de l’histoire de la ville. Précédée par deux journées de manifestations, impliquant des étudiants et de jeunes «ߙvoyousߙ», l’émeute a déclenché une série de réactions qui ont mis en lumière de quelle façon différentes autorités (municipales, journalistiques, universitaires) percevaient le rôle de la jeunesse et les dangers de la délinquance. La clémence accordée aux étudiants et la sévérité à l’égard des autres jeunes a révélé comment la «ߙmauvaise conduite élitaireߙ» des premiers était non seulement validée par les autorités, mais également au cœur de la reproduction de l’ordre social. Si les étudiants étaient partie prenante de cette reproduction, ils ont aussi utilisé l’émeute pour enclencher une série de réflexions, particulièrement à l’Université McGill et à l’Université de Montréal, sur l’autonomie universitaire et la nécessité de créer un mouvement étudiant élargi capable de canaliser l’énergie des parades estudiantines pour transformer les corps étudiants en acteurs de la scène municipale.
The Politics of Public Space: Toronto’s Yonge Street Pedestrian Mall, 1971–1974
Authors: Ross Daniel
Published: December 2020

Beginning in the 1950s, hundreds of cities in Canada and the United States experimented with closing major downtown shopping streets to automobile traffic and opening them up to pedestrians. The few scholars who have studied these pedestrian malls have emphasized their failure as an economic revitalization initiative: hopes that creating new public spaces would lure suburban shoppers downtown were frustrated, and few are still in operation today. This article takes a different approach, using a rich archive of sources on Toronto’s Yonge Street pedestrian mall (1971–4) to analyze its life as a public space. This is a revealing angle from which to understand the North American downtown in a period of automobility, urban renewal, and municipal reform. Over four summers, a range of historical actors invested the mall concept with their hopes and fears for the urban future and appropriated its spaces through everyday practices. As a result, the Yonge Street pedestrian mall acquired multiple identities: a site of sociability and displays of civic pride; a protest against pollution; a marketplace; a gathering place for youth; a spectacle of downtown life. This article explores the representations and street life that created these images of the mall, arguing that the experiment is best understood as a contested and disorderly public space. It also places the different historical actors and ideas that met on Yonge Street in the larger context of the postwar North American city.
Bad Bastards?: Tattooing, Health, and Regulation in Twentieth-Century Vancouver
Authors: Jelinski Jamie
Published: December 2020

Using local newspapers and archival documents from the City of Vancouver Archives, this article investigates how state actors—namely the city of Vancouver’s Health Department—attempted to regulate professional tattooing in Vancouver. Simultaneously, I consider how tattooists understood health and sanitation relative to tattooing and, in the process, responded to and challenged regulation. In doing so, I investigate the complex relationship between Vancouver’s professional tattooists and state actors, focusing on the methods used to regulate tattooing. I argue that although unfounded or inadequately established health concerns typically concealed efforts to control tattooing, tattooists worked within and against regulation to maintain a presence in Vancouver.
À travers les frontières : la participation de Montréal au réseau d’échange inter-municipal sur les problèmes de logement dans les années 1930
Authors: Racette Jean-Christophe
Published: December 2020

Durant la crise des années 1930, la qualité des logements montréalais se dégrade rapidement. Le gouvernement municipal doit donc étudier la question de la salubrité des logements et tenter de trouver des solutions pour résoudre ce problème. La Commission du logement salubre est alors créée afin d’enquêter sur les taudis montréalais et de proposer des plans de rénovation urbaine. Cette commission se met à la recherche des meilleures pratiques internationales en matière d’intervention sur les logements. À travers des voyages d’études, la recension d’articles de journaux et des correspondances entre fonctionnaires, la Ville de Montréal s’intègre alors dans un vaste réseau d’échanges de connaissances et de savoir-faire. La compétition intermunicipale étant très forte, cet aspect des relations entre les villes prendra une importance capitale dans la façon dont Montréal abordera les problèmes liés aux taudis et dans la façon dont elle tentera de les résoudre.
Psychosocial parameters as determinants of return to work among stroke survivors
Authors: Uzoh Pascal Chidera , Hammed Adebisi I. , Onyemechi Ezekiel , Obaseki Chigozie O. , Kubeyinje Susan O.
Published: December 2020

This study investigated the psychosocial parameters as determinants of return to work among stroke survivors. This study involved 49 stroke survivors. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to determine the levels of anxiety and depression of the subjects. Equally, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of the subjects was measured with the Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SS-QOL) scale. Also, a self-structured questionnaire was used to determine return to work of the subjects. The difference between stroke survivors that returned to work and those that did not return to work was established using Pearson’s chi-squared test. Also, Independent sample t-test was used to test for significance. Statistical significance was accepted for a p-value of <0.05. The outcome of this study showed a significant (p<0.05) difference in the depression of stroke survivors that returned to work and those that did not return to work. Also, significant (p<0.05) differences exist in the anxiety and quality of life of stroke survivors that returned to work and those that did not return to work. Likewise, age was found to have a significant influence on return-to-work status (p<0.05). Besides, gender, occupation and duration of physiotherapy had no significant (p > 0.05) influence on return-to-work status of stroke survivors. This study, therefore concluded that the level of depression, anxiety, and quality of life can substantially have an influence on return to work or otherwise among stroke survivors. Therefore, health professionals should develop and incorporate strategies to enhance the quality of life, prevent depression and anxiety in the management of stroke survivors.
The peculiarities of creativity management in modern organizations

Leisuring Masculinities in British Indian Childhoods
Authors: Mukherjee Utsa
Published: December 2020

In this article, I draw upon a qualitative study with 11- to 12-year-old middle-class British Indian boys and their parents to unpack the ways notions of young masculinities are negotiated within the context of children’s leisure. Taking a relational approach, I argue that leisure-based masculinities of children are simultaneously generationed and gendered. By interrogating the intersection of what Raewyn Connell theorizes as “gender order” and what childhood sociologists call the “generational order,” I demonstrate that leisure-based young masculinities are forged within children’s inter- (parent-child) and intra- (child-child) generational relationships around leisure. I conclude with a call for greater engagement with intersectional frameworks in the study of boys’ masculinity that simultaneously recognizes the gender and the generational structures of children’s everyday lives.

Type III gastric neuroendocrine tumor - a case report
Authors: SPATARU Teodora , NEGREANU Lucian
Published: December 2020

We present the case of a 71 year old female that was endoscopically diagnosed with type III neuroendocrine gastric tumor (NET). NETs are rare, slowly growing neoplasm originating in the neuroendocrine cells, that can occur anywhere in the body. Gastrointestinal forms account for more than a half of them. If type I and II gastric neuroendocrine tumors can be managed endoscopically, type III and IV have sugery as their main therapy. Because type III lessions have the greatest potential to generate metastasis, we did a CT scan on the patient and found distant metastasis located in the liver and also to the lymph nodes. Treatment options depend on the type of tumor, its location, signs and symptoms experienced by the patient, due to excess hormones produced by the tumor, and also if there is resectable metastatic disease or not. Altough our patient had a voluminous tumor, surgical resection was possible, followed by chemotherapy, with good evolution.

Mi a szabadság?
Authors: Csink Lóránt
Published: December 2020

A keresztény szabadság és liberális szabadság szembeállítása a közéleti viták egy népszerű témaköre. A tanulmány e vitának egy részéhez szól hozzá; a keresztény szabadságot az alapján közelíti meg, hogy a keresztény vallás alapja, a Biblia mit tanít a szabadságról, a liberális szabadságot pedig a klasszikus liberális gondolkodók szemüvegén keresztül láttatja. A tanulmány nem képes és nem is hivatott teljességében bemutatni sem a liberalizmust, még kevésbé pedig a Biblia világ- és emberképét. Célja nem más, mint a szabadság tartalmának, forrásának és céljának az összehasonlítása.
A házasság és a család mint keresztény és európai értékek
Authors: Varga Zs. András
Published: December 2020

A tanulmány áttekinti a házasságra és a családra vonatkozó legfontosabb nemzetközi emberi jogi dokumentumokat. Ezek rendelkezéseit tárgyuk szerint csoportosítva kísérel meg következtetést levonni a két társadalmi jelenség nemzetközi jogi védelmének jellegére. Ezt követően áttekinti, hogy a házasság és a család mennyire tekinthető az európai kultúra lényeges összetevőjének. Az ószövetségi zsidó és a római birodalmi jog házasságfelfogásából kiindulva, az ezeket az értékeket továbbvivő Katolikus Egyház szabályainak áttekintése után bemutatja a kortárs egyetemes és hazai egyházi felfogást. Mindennek eredményeként vonja le azt a következtetést, hogy az európai kultúra a bemutatott házasság- és családfelfogásra épül. Ennek elvetése vagy lehetetlen, vagy egy másik kultúra létrehozását jelentené.
