Study of Morbidity and Mortality Pattern of Children Admitted in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of Tertiary Care Children’s Hospital
Authors: Joshi Prakash , Agrawal Sumit , Sah Umesh Prasad
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Intensive care is predominantly concerned with the management of patients with acute life threatening conditions in a specialised unit. The objective of this study was to describe the morbidity and mortality patterns as well as outcome of patients admitted in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of a tertiary care government paediatric hospital in Nepal.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 652 children admitted to the PICU of Kanti Children’s Hospital was undertaken from 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2018. The data were retrieved retrospectively from the record files of PICU regarding patient’s age, sex, inhabitant, admitting and final diagnosis, length of stay in the ICU and final outcome. Data were entered into MS Excel and analysed using Pearson’s Chi Square Test.

Results: Among 652 admitted children between 1 month to 14 years of age, 397 (61%) were males and 255 (39%) females with male to female ratio 1.55:1. Majority 352 (54%) of them were in the age group of one month to 12 months of age. Pneumonia (216, 33.1%) was the major disease seen followed by septicemia (123, 18.9%), bronchiolitis (44, 6.7%), Other infectious diseases (38, 5.8%) and so on. Out of total admission, 484 (74.23%) cases improved, 46 (7.05%) left against medical advice (LAMA) and 120 cases died with mortality rate of 18.46%. More than half of the deaths (n = 87/120, 72.5%) were due to infections (Septicemia, acute gastroenteritis, pneumonia and meningitis and other infectious diseases).

Conclusions: Pneumonia with respiratory distress was the major cause of PICU admission while fatality was highest for acute leukemia. Therefore it seems justifiable to improve primary and secondary health care facilities for timely and reliable delivery of current standardised therapeutic practice as well as to increase ICU facilities in those areas.
Neonatal Foot Length as Surrogate Marker for Prematurity: A Hospital Based Cross-Sectional Study in Central India
Authors: Kapoor Anju , Soni Triloki Nath
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Neonatal mortality is higher in premature babies, more so when identification and intervention is delayed. This study was aimed to find out the effectiveness of foot length measurement, a simple and inexpensive method, for identifying premature babies at birth.

Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 514 hospital born neonates. Their foot length, birth weight, length and head circumference were measured and compared with gestational age assessed by new Ballard score.

Results: Amongst 514 newborns, 71.6% were term and 28.4% were preterm. Mean foot length in term and pre-term babies were 7.30 cm (SD + 0.39) and 6.81 cm (SD + 0.52) respectively (p value < 0.0001). Pearson's correlation coefficient between gestational age as assessed by new Ballard score and foot length, birth weight, length and head circumference all showed significant positive correlation in the decreasing order  [maximum with foot length (r = 0.802)]. Linear regression analysis for gestational age with foot length also had highest coefficient of determination R2 = 0.760 (P < 0.001). Foot length with cut-off < 6.83 cm has higher AUC (Area Under Curve) and is a good marker for predicting prematurity with a sensitivity of 94.57%, and a specificity of 41.99%.

Conclusions: Foot length measurement can be a good surrogate marker to predict prematurity as significant correlation is seen between it and gestational age assessed by new Ballard score.
Neurological and Cardiac Manifestations of Children with Dengue Presenting to a Tertiary Care Institute: An Observational Study
Authors: Nadkarni Jayashree , Agrawal Amit , Shrivastava Kiran
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Dengue is a common arboviral infection in tropical areas of world with increased incidence in the past few years. Spread of disease has led to increased recognition of various atypical manifestations apart from the classical features. This study was conducted to find out the neurological and cardiac manifestations of dengue in children.

Methods: This observational study was conducted in a tertiary referral centre in Central India. Cases were classified based on the WHO 2009 Dengue guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control. The neurological and cardiac manifestations of dengue were studied and compared with those cases without manifestations.

Results: In this study, a total of 75 dengue cases were included and out of them, five (6.75%) cases presented with CNS abnormalities. The most common neurological manifestations were fever with seizures, altered sensorium, vomiting and headache. Hepatomegaly, hypotension, coagulopathy, and leucocytosis (> 11,000 cells/mm3) were significantly associated with neurological dysfunction (p < 0.05). Ten children out of 75 (13.33%) had cardiac manifestations. They included bradycardia in five cases, tachycardia and signs of CCF in three cases and shock in two cases. Echocardiographic evaluation showed mild pericardial effusion in one patient.

Conclusions: Dengue poses a huge burden to healthcare system with its various atypical manifestations. A better understanding of neurological and cardiac clinical manifestations of dengue will reduce morbidity and mortality in such cases.

3. Personal Relationships between Co-buried Individuals in the Central European Early Bronze Age
Authors: Rebay-Salisbury Katharina
Published: December 2020

People were usually buried in single, individual graves in Early Bronze Age Austria and the surrounding areas, but there are some exceptions. In burials of two or more people, it is often the way that bodies were placed in relation to each other that suggests familiarity, if not family. This paper reviews the social relations expressed through co-burials, and aims to better understand relationships between couples, siblings, or parents and children. The chapter particularly highlights mother-child relationships and presents graves of pregnant women and graves of women and children buried together, in order to understand how such individuals were treated by their societies in death. Ages and age gaps between co-buried individuals reveal the most likely ages for life-transitions such as first motherhood and the addition of new family members. The analysis compares evidence from two different, but contemporary cultural groups (Únětice and Unterwölbing) to shed light on prehistoric gender relations, family structures and social organisation through the lens of the burial record.
8. The Old and The Young in Early Medieval Iceland: The Evidence for Three-generational Families in the Household Cemeteries of Skagafjorður, Northern Iceland
Authors: Zoega Guðný
Published: December 2020

In recent years, a number of early Christian cemeteries have been excavated in the region of Skagafjörður, North Iceland. They belonged to, and were managed by, occupants of individual farms and were in use from around AD 1000-1120. These household cemeteries differ from the sparse pagan burial record in that they are ‘all inclusive’, i.e. they include individuals of both sexes and all ages, and essentially represent all inhabitants of a household. An interesting feature of the cemeteries is the large number of interred infants and relatively large number of ‘older’ individuals. By looking at the osteological data in conjunction with the placement of burials within cemeteries a more detailed picture of the Medieval household emerges, including the perception of the young and the aged and the possible role of three-generation families in the transference of knowledge and life experience. This paper discusses how this unique material can add to the predominantly philological and historical discussions on the nature, composition and social interactions of the Medieval Icelandic household.
9. Together in Death: Demography and Funerary Practices in Contemporary Multiple Internments in Irish Medieval Burial Grounds
Authors: Murphy Eileen
Published: December 2020

Contemporary multiple interment is a minority burial practice occasionally encountered in Medieval Christian burial grounds that is suggestive of the death of two or more individuals at the same time followed by a conscious decision by the living to bury those individuals together. The study reviews the evidence from thirty-one Irish burial grounds (spanning AD 300 to 1700) to explore the nature of the demographic combinations apparent in these contemporary multiple interments. Drawing upon information gleaned from contemporary historical sources, an attempt will be made to proffer possible scenarios to account for the different demographic configurations apparent in the burials. Funerary practices, in particular, positioning of the bodies, will be explored to see if insights can be gained concerning the nature of the potential social relationships that may have existed between those interred together in each grave. The findings from Ireland will be compared to those of studies of similar burials in Anglo-Saxon England.

Self-Portrait of the Artist as Radical Feminist in Experimental Theatre: Joie by Pol Pelletier
Authors: Forsyth Louise H.
Published: December 2020

Pol Pelletier (comédienne, metteure en scène, dramaturge, enseignante, fondatrice de théâtre, et directrice artistique) est l’une des rares femmes artistes du théâtre qui a publié et performé des oeuvres théoriques sur le jeu. Elle s’est donné l’objectif radical de changer la pratique du théâtre, et du monde même. Elle voulait que les femmes découvrent des mythologies qui résonnent avec leurs expériences et qu’elles arrivent ainsi à jouer des rôles forts et authentiques.De telles mythologies et de tels rôles restent encore rares sur les scènes d’aujourd’hui. À la base de la pratique et de la position théorique de Pelletier figure la conviction que les femmes doivent se débarrasser d’idéologies et de conventions reçues qui limitent de façon dangereuse le plein exercice de l’esprit, du corps et de la voix. Entre 1975 et 1985 Pelletier s’engageait vigoureusement au théâtre expérimental et à la création collective, jusqu’au point de fonder le premier théâtre féministe permanent du Canada, le Théâtre Expérimental des Femmes. Joie, créée en 1990, est la première pièce d’une trilogie dramatique où Pelletier fait rétrospectivement le point sur les réussites éblouissantes et les déceptions écrasantes de cette période expérimentale. C’est la re-création d’une tranche de sa vie. C’est en même temps une performance dramatique et un programme théorique pour le renouveau non-sexiste du théâtre.
Queer and Now: The Queer Signifier at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre
Authors: Halferty J. Paul
Published: December 2020

In his 1995 essay, “Theorizing a Queer Theatre: Buddies in Bad Times,”RobertWallace suggests that Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is an“imaginative construction”whose“theatrical subjectivity,” like itsmandate, is not fixed, but has been constantly evolving since the company began to produce work in 1979 (137).Wallace goes on to argue that Buddies underwent a “literal and figurative reconstruction of [its] theatrical subjectivity” (138) when the company renovated and moved into its current home at the Alexander Street Theatre Project in 1994 and changed itsmandate to nominate itself a “queer theatre.” Using Wallace’s essay as a point of departure, I examine the interim decade at Buddies to chart the shifting meaning of the term queer as it has been employed to define the company’smandate from1994 to the present.

This performative text was delivered by Michael Greyeyes as a keynote address at “Indigenous Film and Media in an International Context,” a conference hosted by Wilfred Laurier University in association with York University in May 2007. The text examines a life in cinema through a post-colonial lens. Michael Greyeyes, an established screen actor and educator, explores themeans by which native culture is constructed through media images and how indigenous performers resist, subvert and re-write these constructions as part of their collective mandate to reclaimtheir own images and portrayals on screen.
Project [Murmur] and the Performativity of Space
Authors: Eaket Chris
Published: December 2020

In The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau asserts that “what the map cuts up, the story cuts across” (129), stressing the role of a nomadic, storytelling subject in the production of space. The [murmur] project, an experiment in site-specific psychogeography and cybercartography (http://murmurtoronto.ca), explores the relationship between spaces represented cartographically, spaces lived through audience explorations, and the (imaginary) representational spaces generated through oral histories. The sitespecific stories of participants, delivered by cell phone to audience members at specially marked sites, transform reified places into lived spaces that the user can explore and interpret in real time. [murmur] situates the subject simultaneously at the site of the referent and within an imaginary (aural) space of representation, compelling the audience member to reconcile the two. In exploring the representational frame (and its boundaries), the user becomes an active participant in the semiotic processes of spatial production. Thus, [murmur] can be seen as an important intervention: rather than accepting the reified city as a given, or acting on the subject in a way that limits semiosis, the places the project constructs through discourse encourage the emergence (or becoming) of a nomadic subject who produces new meanings through a process of spatial dialectics. Equally important, [murmur] foregrounds the need to rethink cities not as sets of buildings and objects, but rather as places where historical and subjective information is latent in every materiality and, similarly, where the materiality of city is seen as the result of the performative processes of spatial production.
Fusing the Nuclear Community: Intercultural Memory, Hiroshima 1945 and the Chronotopic Dramaturgy of Marie Clements’s Burning Vision
Authors: Whittaker Robin C.
Published: December 2020

In recent years, attention toMarie Clements’s work as a playwright has gradually accumulated.Her plays are eagerly produced across Canada and around the world. Scholarly articles have appeared on these pages, as well as in Canadian Theatre Review, Theatre Research International, and the Baylor Journal of Theatre and Performance, and panel papers focusing on her work have been presented at conferences fromVancouver to Belgium.Much of this attention has dealt with three mutually definitive aspects of her plays: their autobiographical relevance to Clements’s life and worldview, their aboriginality, and their staging of women. That is to say, for the most part attention to Clements’s work has been predicated on questions of identity that flow from the “personal engagement with the text by its writer-actor” (Gilbert,“Shine” 25). Here I consider her award-winning play Burning Vision as performing cultures in ways that are productively political, imaginative, theatrical, and complex. I argue thatmoments of reciprocal communication between cultures—“intercultural handshakes”— are negotiated by Clements as “timespace” moments through a Dene-inspired form of “chronotopic dramaturgy” which, followingMikhail Bakhtin and Ric Knowles, re-visions the ways in which time and space structure a theatrical work and inform our understanding of the political effects at play.
Building a Canadian Disability Arts Network: an Intercultural Approach
Authors: Johnston Kirsty
Published: December 2020

A growing body of scholarship highlights the critical import of interdisciplinary dialogue between performance studies and disability studies. This dialogue seems particularly relevant for intercultural performance studies and in this essay I argue that an emerging Canadian disability arts presenters’ network offers a useful opportunity for such an exchange. The metaphor of the network also provides a model for thinking about intercultural creation in ways that favour ongoing dialogue and debate over consensus. Since its inaugural meeting in 2006, this network has drawn together pioneering presenters of disability arts and cultural events, each involving a significant theatre component, from across Canada. Canadians have shown considerable leadership in local and international disability arts and cultural movements but there has hitherto been little coordination between presenters or professional support on a national level. This network’s origins, membership, activities, and arguments shed light on diverse disability cultures at play in Canada and press intercultural performance studies to include disability as an important identity rubric while also attending to this diversity.
Contemporary Circus Research in Quebec: Building and Negotiating and Emerging Interdisciplinary Field
Authors: Leroux Louis Patrick
Published: December 2020

Describing an emerging field of research, one that is fundamentally interdisciplinary and heuristic in its phenomenological approach, can be overwhelming. In one sense, everything has yet to be done, but to state even this would be to negate precursory forays into the study of contemporary circus as practiced in Quebec and disseminated throughout the world from an unexpected new circus capital. In this short essay, I give a first-hand account of the creation of the Montreal Working Group for Circus Research, its rapid growth and integration into Montreal’s vibrant cosmopolitan circus scene. The Working Group and its ongoing collaboration with National Circus School of Montreal have served as a nexus for developing research strategies and a vocabulary for the new field of contemporary circus studies in North America.
Adapting “Le Grand Will” in Wendake: Ex Machina and the Huron-Wendat Nation’s La Tempête1
Authors: Poll Melissa
Published: December 2020

This article examines how La Tempête, a 2011 collaboration between Robert Lepage’s theatre company, Ex Machina, and the Huron-Wendat Nation on the Wendake First Nations reserve, fostered moments of productive interculturalism both on stage and off through what I have termed scenographic dramaturgy. Lepage’s process of scenic re-“writing” responds to the evocative potential of individual performer bodies and a production’s given physical location to craft a postdramatic adaptation rooted in highly physical and visual performance text. This analysis draws on intercultural theory, scenographic dramaturgy, postcolonial theory, and postdramatic adaptation and includes a brief survey of Quebecois and First Nations Shakespeare productions in Canada, highlighting some of the potential traps of staging postcolonial interpretations, including power imbalances among intercultural collaborators and reductionist portrayals of difference. Ex Machina and the Huron-Wendat Nation’s ability to avoid many of these traps will be interrogated through examples illustrating how scenographic dramaturgy’s three central components—bodies in motion, architectonic scenography, and historical spatial mapping—function as both a process and product fostering progressive dialogue between cultures.
Youth Participatory Action Research and Applied Theatre Engagement: Supporting Indigenous Youth Survivance and Resurgence
Authors: Conrad Diane
Published: December 2020

Pour les jeunes Autochtones du Canada, cette époque a son lot de défis qui ne définissent pas pour autant l’ensemble de leurs réalités. Dans cet article, Diane Conrad s’intéresse au versant pratique de l’engagement théâtral en examinant trois projets de recherche-action participative auxquels ont participé des jeunes Autochtones dans trois contextes différents : en milieu scolaire, dans une prison pour jeunes délinquants et chez un organisme communautaire au service des jeunes de la rue. Elle explore l’importance d’une approche axée sur le théâtre appliqué pour les recherches menées auprès de jeunes Autochtones, faisant valoir qu’elle évite de reproduire des récits unidimensionnels centrés sur les dommages et permet d’ouvrir sur des processus inspirants pour la survie et la résurgence. Conrad met l’accent sur les façons dont la recherche peut aider les jeunes à s’autonomiser et amener les autres à voir la sagesse et l’espoir des jeunes en parallèle avec les luttes qui façonnent leurs réalités.

Authors: Nasser Roseann , Cammer Allison , Bandara Thilina , Bovee Sabrina
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine if staff perceive a mealtime management video to be a beneficial and useful training tool in long-term care (LTC) homes. An email invitation was sent to the Dietitians of Canada Gerontology Network inviting dietitians working in LTC homes to participate. A previously used and reliable 25-item questionnaire was used to assess sustained attention/mental effort, learner satisfaction, clinical experience/relevance, and information processing of the video. Dietitians were asked to show the video to LTC staff and distribute the questionnaire to staff after viewing the video. A total of 769 surveys were completed at 28 LTC homes across Canada. Eighty-seven percent (n = 637/736) of participants felt more knowledgeable after viewing the video and 91% (n = 669/738) found the video format easy for learning. Managers had a higher Likert scores (mean = 6.2 out of 7) than continuing care assistant (mean = 5.7, P = 0.02) and food service workers (mean = 5.5, P = 0.001) for the clinical relevance scales. No differences were found for age (χ2 = 5.52, P = 0.60), gender (χ2 = 2.65, P = 0.10), and size of home (χ2 = 3.34, P = 0.34). Staff perceived the video to be useful for their work with residents living in LTC homes and it raised awareness of the importance of their roles at mealtimes.
Opportunities for Qualitative Analysis of Social Media Platforms in Dietetic Research and Practice
Authors: Lynch Meghan , Knezevic Irena , Ryan Kennedy Laborde
Published: December 2020

To date, most qualitative knowledge about individual eating patterns and the food environment has been derived from traditional data collection methods, such as interviews, focus groups, and observations. However, there currently exists a large source of nutrition-related data in social media discussions that have the potential to provide opportunities to improve dietetic research and practice. Qualitative social media discussion analysis offers a new tool for dietetic researchers and practitioners to gather insights into how the public discusses various nutrition-related topics. We first consider how social media discussion data come with significant advantages including low-cost access to timely ways to gather insights from the public, while also cautioning that social media data have limitations (e.g., difficulty verifying demographic information). We then outline 3 types of social media discussion platforms in particular: (i) online news article comment sections, (ii) food and nutrition blogs, and (iii) discussion forums. We discuss how each different type of social media offers unique insights and provide a specific example from our own research using each platform. We contend that social media discussions can contribute positively to dietetic research and practice.
Cell-Wall-Deficient Bacteria in Oral Biofilm: Association with Periodontitis
Authors: Germano Francesco , Germano Francesco , Testi Davide , Campagnolo Luisa , Scimeca Manuel , Arcuri Claudio
Published: December 2020

Cell-wall-deficient bacteria are those that lack cell walls and live in a pleomorphic state. The genus
Mycoplasma and L-form bacteria are both members of this group. The aim of this study was to search cellwall-deficient bacteria in periodontal biofilm and link their presence to periodontal disease. Eighty-nine
individuals were recruited and divided into three groups: periodontally healthy individuals, individuals with
chronic periodontitis, and those with aggressive periodontitis. The presence of cell-wall-deficient bacteria
was detected in freshly collected biofilm by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
with and without electron microscopy in situ hybridization, atomic force microscopy and DNA stain
(Hoechst). A new dichotomic index of classification for prevalence and morphologic variants was developed
to classify cell-wall-deficient bacteria in periodontal biofilm. Cell-wall-deficient bacteria were found in
periodontal biofilm and classified into protoplastic, everted, filament and intracellular forms, the last one
mainly associated with aggressive periodontitis. We also assessed the prevalence of periodontopathic
bacteria by means of polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) and found no clear, statistically significant,
correlation among periodontal pathogens tested (except T. denticola) that allowed individuals with chronic
periodontitis to be distinguished from those with aggressive periodontitis. Association between cell-walldeficient bacteria and periodontal condition was: periodontally healthy, 3.3% (1/30); individuals with
chronic periodontitis, 30.6% (11/36); and those with aggressive periodontitis, 100% (23/23). Cell-walldeficient bacteria were detected in periodontal biofilm and linked to aggressive periodontitis.

A World of Touch in a No-Touch Pandemic
Authors: Douglas Cristina
Published: December 2020

Touch is essential when living with dementia for communication and remaining connected with the world, and it is also unavoidable when performing body care. Thus, it is impossible to think of living and caring for people with dementia in the absence of touch. Drawing from my ethnographic fieldwork conducted with therapy animals and people living with dementia in Scottish care facilities, in this article I argue that the public health measures taken against the spread of COVID-19 infections need to be reimagined by taking into consideration the role of touch. Furthermore, I try to draw attention to the lessons that we should learn about touch and the role of intimate bodily entanglements in dementia care from the high COVID-19 death tolls amongst British care home residents.
Ways of ‘Being With’
Authors: Driessen Annelieke , Borgstrom Erica , Cohn Simon
Published: December 2020

Palliative care professionals often speak of the importance of forming meaningful relationships with patients and their families. Trust and rapport, usually established over extended periods of time through face-to-face interactions, and a ‘gentle honesty’ regarding end-of-life and death are key aspects of developing a sense of intimacy with people who are approaching the end of their lives. A fundamental feature of this intimacy is conveying a sense of ‘being with’ a patient. However, these ways of working were greatly challenged by the impact of COVID-19. This article explores how intimacy both was and was not established at the height of the pandemic, and it describes the extent to which shared concerns functioned as a new means to create a sense of a common experience.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and the Reconfigurations of Domestic Space in Favelas
Authors: Parreiras Carolina
Published: December 2020

This article aims to reflect on the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic changed how experiences of intimacy occur with a specific focus on the domestic relations of women living in favelas in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In contexts marked by precariousness and by the everyday difficulty of cohabitation in spaces that are characterised as small and with little infrastructure, the pandemic retraces the forms of co-existence, modifying the ways in which intimacies are built and experienced. The perspective adopted takes into account the ways in which the pandemic creates, recreates and intensifies relationships of vulnerability that not only include prevention of the virus, but changes to domestic space and women’s private lives.
Spatio-Temporal Translations
Authors: Baffelli Erica , Schröer Frederik
Published: December 2020

During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to space has been strictly regulated and restricted. Many of us feel acutely disconnected from our relationships, while at the same time new forms of (virtual) intimacies have become ubiquitous. In the pandemic present, nearly all interpersonal relations are now characterised by a double absence that is concrete and material, and also emotional and felt. This article offers a theoretical reflection on how conditions of absence create new practices of intimacy and new strategies of coping. It does so by discussing how pre-pandemic emotional repertoires are translated into new forms of intimacy that can synchronise or throw out of sync. It highlights the centrality of spatial and temporal relations under absence in uncovering new mediated practices.
Pandemic Passages

The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic on 11 March 2020, and the world has been different ever since. Recalling the work of Victor Turner and Arnold van Gennep, this article explores how their ideas about rituals and rites of passage can be used to make sense of the pandemic. In particular, it seeks to show how using the structure of rituals of separation and incorporation and liminality can unpack and highlight changing ideas about temporality, embodiment and relationships.

في هذه الدراسة قد تم التعاطي مع النص السينوي من خلال التركيز على الآليات التي اختص بهي النص السينوي في تشريح الأفكار و أصولها ، و الأساليب البحثية التي مارسها الفكر العربي و الإسلامي المعاصر ،فكان العمل يتمحور من جهة أولى على قراءة ابن سينا للنصوص الفلسفية السابقة عليه ، و من جهة ثانية قراءات حول قراءة ابن سينا لتلك النصوص ، و التي اصطلحت على تسميتها ب ( استراتيجيات القراءة ) و قد تنوعت تلك الاستراتيجيات واختلفت ،باختلاف منهجيات التفكير و الغاية من ورائها . فكانت النقطة المركزية التي التقيت عندها استراتيجيات القراءة ، هي الانطلاق من نص محدد لابن سينا ، وتوالت بعد ذلك الشواهد و الملاحظات الأساسية والثانوية حول النص السينوي ، و كانت النصوص المركزية عند ابن سينا ، تتحدث بصورة دورية حول ماهيات العلم و تقسيماته ، والتي اعتبرها ابن سينا من المسلمات أو البديهيات التي ينبغي أن تكون حجر الزاوية في التوقف على أفكارها و أصولها . فأن التصنيف الافتراضي للمعرفة العلمية ، و التي أقام على أساسها ابن سينا أصولها الفكرية و تفرعها ، هي التصنيف المعرفي العام ، و الذي يصنف المعرفة بشكل عام و مطلق إلى أنواع معرفية مختلفة هي علوم فلسفية و علوم منطقية و علوم طبيعية ، و هي هذه العلوم تشترك في أساسيات يفترض تواجدها في أي معرفة علمية ، و هي الموضوع و المعطيات و المطلوب ، و هذه الأساسيات الثلاثة ،تشترك فيها جميع العلوم أو المعرفة العلمية ، لأنها في حال عدم تواجدها فأنها لا تسمى علما ، و التصنيف الآخر ، هو التصنيف الذي يأخذ بالاعتبار التصنيف المعرفي إلى نظري وعملي ، من خلال ملاحظة البعد الذاتي للمعرفة ، ففي الوقت الذي ركزفيه ابن سينا على البعد الموضوعي في التصنيف المعرفي للعلوم العام ، ركز على البعد الذاتي في التصنيف المعرفي الخاص ، و عند تلك اللحظة المعرفية من التصنيف اختلفت القراءات حول النص السينوي ، بين الإستراتيجيةالقراءتية عند محمد رضا المظفر و أيضا اختلفت الاستراتيجيات القراءتية عند محمد حسين الطباطبائي ، و كان لهذا الاختلاف من الأسباب و المسببات الشيء الكثير ، فقد فكر و تعاطى المظفر مع النص السينوي ، بطريقة مدرسية و أفق مسدود ، بالمقابل فكر و تعاطى الطباطبائي مع النص السينوي ، بطريقة عرفانية و أفق مفتوح .

ليست الغايةُ من هذه الدراسةِ تحرّي ألفاظَ اللهجةِ أملاً في تجلية حُسنها؛ إذ يُجمع أغلب المتكلمين بالعربية - المختصين منهم وغير المختصين – أن في الفصحى رونقًا وبهاء يفوق غيرها من مستويات الخطاب، ويعكس رقيّ المتحدّث بها، بل المبتغى هو استشرافُ ظاهرةٍ لغويةٍ متمثلة في "التباين اللهجي" تؤذن بتخلّق لبسٍ دلالي؛ وذلك قصدَ توخّي الحيطة والاحتراز من تعمية المراد، فيُفهم على غير الوجهِ الذي قيلَ من أجله في لغة التداول اليومي، وتختصّ هذه الدراسة بظاهرةِ التباينِ في اللهجاتِ العربيةِ المعاصرة، وهي تصبُّ في ثلاثة مباحث، أمّا المبحث الأول فقد كان مضماره تجليةَ مفهوم التباينِ اللهجي، والعوامل التي أدّت إلى اختلاف اللهجاتِ وتشعّبها دون قصد أصلها وتطوّرها، وإنما استشراف العلة التي تُفسّر انحرافَ القولِ الذي أصابَ متكلّم العربية ممّا أدى إلى تباينٍ بين اللهجات، ومواضعها في المستويات اللغوية. وأمّا المبحث الثاني ففي ظاهرة اللبس في اللغة، بإعراب حدّ اللبس لغةً واصطلاحًا، والتفريق بينه وبين أشباهه من الألفاظ، وهي الخلط والغموض والوهم واللغز، والعلاقةَ بين اللبس واللهجة، والمحتكم في الإبانة عن اللبسِ الحاصل في اللهجة، والمواضع المرشّحة لتخلّق اللبس في المستويات اللغوية، وتحديدًا في المستوى المعجمي، الذي هو محلّ عِناية الدّراسة.وأمّا المبحث الثالث فرَصد بعض الأحداث الكلاميّةِ التي تكشف أثرَ تباينِ اللهجات في التواصل من خلال ضرب أمثلة من واقعِ الحياة اليومية أفضتْ إلى لبسٍ معجمي، استعراضًا دون استفاضة في التحليل.

"التناص" في الرواية المغاربية
Authors: Bouali Abderrahmane Abdellah
Published: December 2020

"التناص" Intertextuality مفهوم نقدي مركزي جديد، وهو آلية من الآليات الإبداعية الحديثة، طرحت على نقاد عصر الحداثة. وقد شغل هذا المفهوم جهود الكثير من هؤلاء الباحثين والدارسين والنقاد والمنظرين وأصحاب شعرية الخطاب الروائي، غربيين وشرقيين، عربا وأجانب، حتى أصبح مفهوما تدور حوله الأبحاث والدراسات والتطبيقات، بل وأصبح حقلا من حقول النقد الأدبي المُهمة والبليغة الفائدة، وبات يشكل بذلك، بالفعل، أداة من أدوات تحليل الخطاب ذات الأهمية الفائقة.

والتناص شغل في الرواية مساحة لافتة للانتباه. وفي هذا البحث سوف نبحث  في مجموعة من الروايات العربية المغاربية لنحلل ما فيها من تناص أدبي. وقد وقع اختيارنا على أربع روايات متميزة، لأصحابها عدد من النصوص المتميزة وتجربة قيمة في مجال الكتابة الروائية. أما الروايات فهي: رواية "رحيل البحر" للمغربي محمد عز الدين التازي، ورواية "أسرار صاحب الستر" للتونسي إبراهيم درغوثي، ورواية "مرايا متشظية" للجزائري عبد المالك مرتاض، ورواية "التبر" لليبي إبراهيم الكوني.

المنهج التجريبي في فكر فلاسفة العلم (روجر بيكون) و(فرنسيس بيكون)
Authors: Shareef Nadwa Mohammed M.
Published: December 2020

يتميز الفكر الإنساني بتواصله، اذ يأخذ اللاحق من السابق ويفيد منه ،وان التميز الحقيقي للفيلسوف انما يبرز في فهمه لتراث السابقين من خلال منهج جديد يعكس استقلاله وابداعه، وقدرة منهجه على طرح تصورات جديدة تسهم في تقدم المرحلة التي يعيشها، وقد أسهم المفكرون والعلماء العرب والمسلمون في النهضة العلمية الحديثة التي تعيشها اوروبا والتي يشهد بها الاوربيون أنفسهم ، وقد حددت الباحثة هدف البحث في تعرف المنهج التجريبي في فكر فلاسفة العلم (روجر بيكون) و(فرنسيس بيكون)، وفيما يتعلق بمنهجية البحث فقد اتبعت الباحثة المنهج التاريخي الوصفي التحليلي البنائي والمقارن منهجا تسير عليه في تحقيق وتحليل البيانات، ومن أبرز النتائج التي توصلت اليها الباحثة:

ساهم روجر بيكون في نهضة العلم ورفع من قيمة التجربة العلمية ومنهج الاستقراء، وجاء بعده فرنسيس بيكون الذي رفض منطق ارسطو المعروف بالاورجانون اذ وجد ان منطق ارسطو يقوم على القياس فلايجعلنا نكتشف شيء جديد ، ولايمكن ان يقود لسيطرة عملية على الطبيعة ، فمن الضروري تغييره بالمنهج التجريبي الاستقرائي بمعناه الحديث بدءا بالتجربة الحسية والملاحظات الدقيقة والتجارب العلمية واستخراج النتائج بحذر ، كما نصح بعدم الفصل بين العقل والتجربة فالأنفع عمليا هو الاصدق نظريا

Grundverständnis nachhaltiger Entwicklung in Deutschland. Ökologische Modernisierung oder Postwachstum
Authors: Schreiber Jonathan
Published: December 2020

In den Sozialwissenschaften konkurrieren nach Henkel (2016: 7) unterschiedliche „Grundverständnisse nachhaltiger Entwicklung“ miteinander. Während in der ökologischen Modernisierung ein „Wachstum der Grenzen“ (Huber 1982: 10) durch technologische und soziale Veränderungen propagiert wird, gehen Postwachstumskonzepte von bereits erreichten Grenzen aus. Die Einstellungen der Gesellschaft gegenüber ökologischer Modernisierung und Postwachstum sind von besonderer Relevanz (vgl. Drews et al. 2018). Dennoch widmen sich nur wenige Untersuchungen gesellschaftlichen Einstellungen gegenüber diesen Grundverständnissen nachhaltiger Entwicklung. Die vorliegende Studie will zur Schließung dieser Lücke beitragen. Mit Hilfe einer repräsentativen Online-Befragung für deutschsprachige und in Deutschland lebende Internetnutzer*innen (n = 1212) wurde untersucht, inwiefern ökologische Modernisierung und Postwachstum in der deutschen Bevölkerung auf Zustimmung treffen.
Misconceptions Within the Use of Overall Equipment Effectiveness – A Theoretical Discussion on Industrial Examples
Authors: Bengtsson Marcus , Andersson Lars-Gunnar , Ekström Pontus
Published: December 2020

Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a common performance measure used in manufacturing industry to identify and prioritize losses to perform improvement work on in order to increase the effectiveness of equipment. There exist challenges though, both in implementing OEE as well as in running an OEE-program. Some of these challenges include lack of training and awareness, lack of focus, risk of misunderstanding the measure etc. This paper will deal with some of the possible misconceptions within the use of OEE that might arise during implementation or in continuously running an OEE-program. Some of the topics of misconceptions that will be discussed include: no financial issues are taken into consideration; that the factors of availability; performance and quality are not weighted; the connection to productivity is not always clear; the importance of cross-functionality of the measurement and work method; the issue of comparison of OEE results; and last but not least the view on and hunt for world class levels. The paper will discuss these (and some additional ones) theoretically and suggest some counter-actions so that they may be avoided.
Using Virtual Reality and Smart Textiles to Assess the Design of Workstations
Authors: Garcia Rivera Francisco , Brolin Erik , Syberfeldt Anna , Högberg Dan , Iriondo Pascual Aitor , Perez Luque Estela
Published: December 2020

This paper presents a solution that integrates a smart textiles system with virtual reality to assess the design of workstations from an ergonomics point of view. By using the system, ergonomists, designers, engineers, and operators, can test design proposals of workstations in an immersive virtual environment while they see their ergonomics evaluation results displayed in real-time. The system allows its users to evaluate the ergonomics of the workplace in a pre-production phase. The workstation design can be modified, enabling workstation designers to better understand, test and evaluate how to create successful workstation designs, eventually to be used by the operators in production. This approach uses motion capture together with virtual reality and is aimed to complement and integrate with the use of digital human modelling (DHM) software at virtual stages of the production development process.
