Assessment of adult nutritional status: Case of denutrition
Authors:   Laboratoire Alimentation, Nutrition et Santé (ALNUTS), Université Salah Boubnider Constantine 3, Algérie. INATAA, Université Frères Mentouri Constantine 1 (UFMC1), Algérie, DAHEL Corinne C.
Published: December 2020

The assessment of the nutritional status is based on data including elements of the interrogation (food consumption, and evaluation of ingesta), clinical data based on the results of anthropometric, and body composition measurements, of biological mar-kers and/or multifactorial indexes. More complex assessment methods can be utilized. Undernutrition screening is based on elucidating relevant risk factors, and estimating food intake; however, undernutrition diagnosis is based on the measurement of nutri-tional markers. Food surveys allow to assess the intakes of an individual, or a group of individuals. Some of them estimate the consumption on specific days, others evaluate the usual consumption. The nutritional status assessment is carried out throughout clini-cal tools, common biological parameters, and validated composite indices, in addition to the evaluation of the overall food intake. More or less sophisticated tools (biophysical measurements), associating biological markers, such as: albumin, transthyretin, transferrin, retinol vector protein, etc., combined with clinical or anthropometric para-meters (body mass index (BMI), skin folds, circumference measurements, etc.), have been suggested attempting to ameliorate the nutritional status assessment, and to identify potentially undernourished subjects. Nutritional diagnosis is established further collecting clinical, and biological parameters, and validated composite indices. There-fore, this diagnosis remains the essential initial step to undertake prior any nutritional care, conditioning both therapy, and subsequent prognosis of nutritional pathology. However, it cannot be achieved by a single tool because none has enough sensitivity and specificity allowing the diagnosis of the type and severity of undernutrition.

Penurunan Kehilangan Air Pada Perumahan Di Sistem Distribusi Cikokol Dengan Metode Neraca Air - Water Loss Reduction In Housing at Cikokol Distribustion System With Water Balannce Method
Authors: Mu’min Muhammad Ali
Published: December 2020

The target of water loss as declared in the National Action Plan program for Drinking Water, until the end of 2015, 18% to 20% should not be more than 20%. Realizing the above, it is necessary to have an appropriate method to control the amount of water loss so as not to exceed the normal limit. One of the factors contributing to the high water loss in PDAM Tirta Benteng Kota Tangerang is official unbilled consumption, non-physical water loss and physical water loss. PDAM Tirta Benteng Kota Tangerang is classified as a PDAM which still has a fairly large level of water loss, namely 54,88% in 2019 (BPKP audit source, 2020) One of the efforts to solve this problem. It is necessary to apply the Water Balance Method and form a main water meter area in the distribution network which aims to minimize the difficulty of handling in the event of a disturbance in the flow system in the distribution network and to make it easier maintenance and reduce the level of losses that occur. One housing that has a very high level of water loss is the Cikokol distribution system.Sasaran besarnya kehilangan air seperti dicanangkan dalam program National Action Plan bidang Air Minum, sampai akhir tahun 2015, 18% sd 20% hendaknya tidak lebih dari 20%. Menyadari hal tersebut diatas perlu suatu metode yang tepat untuk mengendalikan besarnya kehilangan air agar tidak melebihi batas kewajaran. Salah satu faktor yang memberikan kontribusi kehilangan air tinggi di PDAM Tirta Benteng Kota Tangerang adalah konsumsi resmi tak berekening, kehilangan air non fisik dan kehilangan air fisik. PDAM Tirta Benteng Kota Tangerang pada tergolong sebagai PDAM yang masih mempunyai tingkat kehilangan air yang cukup besar yaitu 54,88 % di tahun 2019 (sumber audit BPKP,2020). Salah satu usaha untuk memecahkan permasalahan ini, perlu menerapkan Metode Neraca Airdan membentuk area meter air induk pada jaringan distribusi yang bertujuan untuk meminimalkan kesulitan penanganan apabila terjadi gangguan pada sistem pengaliran di jaringan distribusi serta mempermudah dalam pemeliharaan dan menekan tingkat kehilangan yang terjadi.

The influence of the segregation energy on the diffusion of second-component atoms in copper is studied by molecular statics and dynamics methods. A number of modified potential is considered. The segregation energy of atoms in a grain boundary is calculated. The number of second-component atoms involved in a diffusion process is found to decrease because of desorption, which leads to a decrease in the grainboundary diffusion coefficient.
Tuberculous peritonitis with elevated serum CA125 levels mimicking peritoneal cancer
Authors: Taniwaki A. , Hashiguchi Y. , Yamauchi M. , Kasai M. , Fukuda T. , Ichimura T. , Yasui T. , Sumi T.
Published: December 2020

Background: Tuberculosis can spread to the peritoneum through the gastrointestinal tract via mesenteric lymph nodes or directly from the blood, lymph, or fallopian tubes. Tuberculous peritonitis can mimic pelvic or intra-abdominal malignancies, making the diagnosis of this disease difficult. Case: A 32-year-old female presented with tuberculous peritonitis that mimicked peritoneal cancer. Our patient presented with general fatigue, weight loss, and diarrhea, which had started 3 months prior. On examination, a thickened peritoneum and ascites, without bilateral adnexal masses, and elevated serum CA125 levels were detected. Peritoneal cancer was initially considered as the most likely diagnosis. An exploratory laparoscopy was performed, and a thickened peritoneum and whitish miliary nodules scattered throughout the abdominal cavity, including the surface of the uterus and adnexa were found. The pathological examination of the frozen resected nodule specimen showed an epitheloid granuloma. We diagnosed the patient with tuberculous peritonitis, which was established postoperatively. Conclusion: If peritoneal cancer is suspected in patients without abnormal cytology of the ascites, early exploratory laparoscopy should be performed to rule out tuberculous peritonitis in the differential diagnosis of patients with peritoneal cancer.

Published: December 2020

Purpose of Investigation: The purpose is to identify factors related to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) that are evaluated during regular prenatal check-ups. Materials and Methods: Obstetric and neonatal data were collected retrospectively for 1,922 women with singleton pregnancies who delivered vaginally. Results: Overweight women exhibited more severe PPH cases compared to normal PPH (p = 0.04). Of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), gestational week of delivery, and neonatal body weight, neonatal body weight showed a significantly elevated risk for severe PPH (adjusted OR = 1.156, p < 0.001). Infant body weight was correlated positively with pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, and gestational week of delivery (r = 0.194, r = 0.189 and r = 0.364, respectively). Pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, and gestational week of delivery were associated with neonatal body weight (adjusted B = 0.169, 1.206 and 1.181, respectively; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Management of maternal body weight induces a safe delivery through controlling neonatal body weight. Content: Severe postpartum hemorrhage is associated with neonatal body weight which is influenced by maternal body mass index and weight gain.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) with oral laxative against no bowel preparation on the perioperative outcomes for pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). The need for bowel preparation before vaginal surgery was thus also investigated. Methods: PFD patients undergoing vaginal surgery in Peking University People's hospital from September 2017 to July 2018 were randomly assigned to MBP (n = 60) or control (n = 60) groups. The two groups were compared for the incidence of preoperative abdominal symptoms and overall patient satisfaction, intraoperative visualization of the surgical field assessed by the surgeon, and postoperative recovery outcomes. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (p > 0.05) for surgical visualization, the surgeon’s overall satisfaction, or for the rate of postoperative complications. However, patients in the MBP group reported more gastrointestinal symptoms and had reduced satisfaction compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of MBP before vaginal surgery reduces preoperative patient satisfaction while conferring no benefit in terms of optimizing surgical visualization and reducing postoperative complications. For patients with PFDs, it is safe and feasible to do without MBP before vaginal surgery.

Authors: Yaylalı A. , Bakacak M. , Bakacak Z. , Tolun F.
Published: December 2020

Objective: To show the effect of the oxidative stress index (OSI) of serum and follicular fluid and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels on embryonic development and pregnancy in cases of unexplained infertility applied with in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Materials and Methods: A total of 80 patients were treated with antagonist protocol in the first cycle of IVF for a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. We recorded demographic data, blood and follicular fluid levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), OSI and IMA. Using ROC analysis for follicular fluid OSI and IMA, patients were grouped according to the cutoff values determined (11.15 and 0.509, respectively). Results: No correlation was detected between serum OSI and IMA values and the implantation rate. In the follicular fluid OSI ≤ 11.15 group (n = 32), beta HCG positivity was seen in 65.6% of patients and live births in 50%. In the IMA ≤ 0.509 group (n = 24), beta HCG positivity was seen in 66.6% and live births in 50%. With respect to follicular fluid OSI and IMA values, the difference in terms of both beta HCG positivity and live birth rates was statistically significant (p = 0.003, p = 0.007, and p = 0.044, p = 0.028, respectively). The BMI value was significantly high in the IMA > 0.509 group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In cases of unexplained infertility with high BMI, increased IMA but not OSI in follicular fluid during IVF treatment could be related to decreased implantation and live birth rates. Follicular fluid IMA levels below the cutoff value may predict pregnancy success.
Vaginal myomectomy is superior to abdominal myomectomy in treatment effect and postoperative recovery
Authors: Wang G.S. , Wei B.
Published: December 2020

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of vaginal myomectomy and abdominal myomectomy on cervical local microcirculation and ovarian function in patients harboring uterine fibroids during the perioperative period. Methods: From September 2017 to September 2019, 94 patients with uterine fibroids admitted in our hospital were randomly divided into the experimental group (vaginal myomectomy, N = 47) and the control group (abdominal myomectomy, N = 47). We compared vascular clarity, erythrocyte aggregation rate, microvascular diameter, blood perfusion, capillary diameter, E2, FSH, LH index and postoperative complications between the two groups. Results: On the 1 st and 3 rd day after operation, the vascular clarity, erythrocyte aggregation rate, microvascular diameter, blood perfusion and capillary diameter in the experimental group had superior beneficial effects compared with the control group, with significant difference (p < 0.05). One month and three months after operation, the E2 index of ovarian function in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). However, the FSH and LH indexes in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the experimental group than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Vaginal myomectomy was the better surgical method for patients harboring uterine fibroids.

Published: December 2020

Purpose of Investigation: This study investigated whether cryopreservation of mouse and human blastocysts using vitrification solutions formulated with or without sucrose and Ficoll affects survival rate and pregnancy outcome. Materials and Methods: Two-cell mouse embryos were retrieved from C57BL/CBA females aged 5 weeks and cultured to the blastocyst stage. Artificial shrinkage of blastocysts was performed by blastocoel fluid aspiration before vitrification and then exposed to and vitrified-warmed in one of four different vitrification solutions: 1) 25% glycerol, 25% ethylene glycol, 20% SSS and PBS without sucrose and Ficoll (G25E25), 2) G25E25 with 0.5 M sucrose (G25E25S0.5), 3) G25E25 with 10 mg/mL Ficoll (G25E25F10), and 4) G25E25 with 0.5 M sucrose and 10mg/mL Ficoll (G25E25S0.5F10). Second, in 435 infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), artificially shrunken blastocysts were vitrified-warmed either in G25E25 (n = 206) and G25E25S0.5F10 (n = 229). Results: In the mouse series, in vitro survival rates of post-warm blastocysts were 93, 91, 90, and 90% in G25E25, G25E25S0.5, G25E25F10, and G25E25S0.5F10, respectively. No significant differences among four groups were found. In the human series, in vitro survival rates and clinical pregnancy rate of blastocysts vitrified-warmed in G25E25 were 96 and 53.3%, respectively, which were similar to those in G25E25S0.5F10 (92 and 51.9%, respectively). Conclusions: Sucrose- and Ficoll-free vitrification solutions can be successfully cryopreserved mouse and human blastocysts without compromising survival rate and pregnancy outcome.
Crisis Line Services: A 12-Month Descriptive Analysis of Callers, Call Content, and Referrals
Authors: Boness Cassandra L. , Helle Ashley C. , Logan Stephanie
Published: December 2020

Crisis lines are a valuable community resource that anonymously and freely serve those in acute crisis. As a result of anonymity, it has been difficult to fully characterize crisis line services. However, appraising and improving crisis line services for the communities they serve is essential, even with the additional difficulty anonymity poses. This study seeks to increase our understanding of current crisis services and utilization via a characterization of various aspects of a United States crisis line service center over 12-months including features of calls (e.g., call length), callers (e.g., victimization history), and information provided to the caller (e.g., referrals). We examine five crisis lines totaling 5,001 calls from October 2018 to September 2019. Descriptive information is provided on call volume, patterns across time, caller characteristics, victimization types, and referrals. Although we were unable to assess prospective outcomes due to anonymity, 99.5% of callers that were asked (61.35% of all calls; n = 3,068) reported the call as helpful. This provides an important overview of crisis line services and suggests they are a valuable community health resource serving a range of callers. Given the findings of the present study, we conclude with a discussion of recommendations and implications for community crisis line centers and future research.

The emergence of word-internal repetition through iterated learning: Explaining the mismatch between learning biases and language design
Authors: Ota Mitsuhiko , San José Aitor , Smith Kenny
Published: December 2020

The idea that natural language is shaped by biases in learning plays a key role in our understanding of how human language is structured, but its corollary that there should be a correspondence between typological generalisations and ease of acquisition is not always supported. For example, natural languages tend to avoid close repetitions of consonants within a word, but developmental evidence suggests that, if anything, words containing sound repetitions are more, not less, likely to be acquired than those without. In this study, we use word-internal repetition as a test case to provide a cultural evolutionary explanation of when and how learning biases impact on language design. Two artificial language experiments showed that adult speakers possess a bias for both consonant and vowel repetitions when learning novel words, but the effects of this bias were observable in language transmission only when there was a relatively high learning pressure on the lexicon. Based on these results, we argue that whether the design of a language reflects biases in learning depends on the relative strength of pressures from learnability and communication efficiency exerted on the linguistic system during cultural transmission.

Field screening of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for resistance to bacterial leaf blight (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae) disease
Authors: Acharya Basistha , KC Sujata
Published: December 2020

Rice is the most important crop in Nepal followed by maize and wheat in terms of area (1.4 million ha), production (5.15 million) and productivity (3.5 mt/ha). Bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is considered to be the most widespread and destructive disease of rice in both irrigated and rainfed environments in Nepal. Use of host plant resistance is the most feasible and economical way to combat this disease. However, breakdown of resistance of a variety often occurs after few years of release due to genetic adaptation of the pathogen. Regular screening of the genotypes is utmost for developing the resistant genotypes. Considering the point, this investigation effort has been made to screen the rice genotypes against BLB under natural field condition at Khajura, Banke during 2018 and 2019. In the study, plants were assessed by measuring disease severity (percentage of leaf diseased) and area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC). Differences in resistance among the rice genotypes were observed in both of the tested year. Among the screened 150 rice genotypes during 2018, 6 genotypes scored resistant (R), 81 moderately resistant (MR), 59 moderately susceptible (MS) and 4 susceptible (S) to BLB. Whereas, in 2019, among the tested 315 rice genotypes, none of the genotypes were resistant, 183 MR, 131 MS and 1 S to BLB disease. This showed that the tested genotypes were composed of different genetic background.

Published: December 2020

The study was conducted from April to June, 2020 for comparative analysis of socioeconomic factors and profitability between Open Pollinated Improved (OPI) varieties and Hybrid varieties on maize production in Sindhupalchok district of Nepal. A structured questionnaire was administered to 80 randomly selected households i.e. 48 HHs cultivated OPI and 32 HHs cultivated hybrid maize varieties.  Descriptive statistics, unpaired t-test, multiple linear regressions and indexing were used for data analysis using statistical tools- SPSS version 25 and MS-Excel. Linear regression model revealed that area under maize (5% level), education (5% level), age of household head (1% level), training (1% level), access to credit (5% level) and choice of seed (1 % level) significantly influenced maize production. In addition, unpaired t-test revealed that the productivity of hybrid maize varieties was significantly higher (1% level) than OPI varieties. Fall Armyworm infestation was found to more severe in OPI varieties (5% level) than hybrid. Furthermore, B: C ratio of hybrid varieties (1.59) indicated hybrid maize to be more profitable than OPI (1% level). However, the total cost of cultivation along with the cost of seed per hectare of OPI was found to be lower than hybrid varieties (1% level) thereby significantly increasing the area under maize production for OPI varieties (1% level).  Indexing identified- lack of availability of quality seeds and fertilizers (I= 0.78) as the major problem associated with maize production. Ensuring access to quality seeds and fertilizer at subsidy, mechanization and efficient extension services focused on development of affordable hybrid maize varieties or high yielding OPI and its adoption among the farmers in order to increase maize productivity is recommended.

Rapeseed is a leading oilseed crop of Nepal occupying 85% of total oilseed cultivation area. This research was conducted to determine the response of different sowing dates on different rapeseed varieties in their final yield under the rain fed condition in Phulbari, Dang. Two rapeseed varieties Unnati and Surkhet Local on three dates of sowing Oct 4, Oct 24 and Nov 14 were tested under two factorial RCBD design in the year 2018 A.D. Data consisted growth attributes like plant height, branch per plant, no. of siliqua per plant, aborted siliqua and siliqua abortion percentage and yield attributes such as biological yield, biomass yield, seed yield, harvest index and test weight. Statistically no difference was found between varieties whereas differences were found on different sowing dates. Result showed that among the varieties, the highest yield (8.59 q/ha) was obtained in Surkhet Local than in Unnati (8.54 q/ha). In case of sowing dates, higher seed yield was obtained in Oct 4 sown crop (15.93 q/ha) followed by Oct 24 (7.47 q/ha) and Nov 14 (2.29 q/ha).The higher seed yield obtained in early sowing is due to shorter vegetative and longer reproductive phase. The comparison of mean values of the seed yield for interaction between variety and sowing date showed that variety Surkhet Local sown in Oct 4 plant had the highest seed yield (16.33 q/ha) followed by variety Unnati on same sowing date (15.54 q/ha). Based on the result obtained, Surkhet Local*Oct 4 performed better in Dang condition.
Three Moments in Quebec Theatre History: Les Faux Brillants by Félix-Gabriel Marchand and by Jean-Claude Germain
Authors: Forsyth Louise H.
Published: December 2020

Félix-Gabriel Marchand's play Les Faux Brillants was written in the early 1880s and first published in its entirety in 1885. Its first performance took place in 1905, after Marchand's death, with the second not occurring until 1977, when Jean-Claude Germain presented a modernized version of it in the form of what he called a paraphrase. By virtue of their dramatic qualities, the two versions of the play are extremely interesting to study and compare, while the history of their creation and performance provides insight into some of the most exciting moments in Quebec theatre history.
Mike is the Message: Performing the Common Sense Revolution
Authors: Duchesne Scott
Published: December 2020

This article concerns itself with the performance of politics. It is focused primarily on Mike Harris, the current premier of Ontario, and how in particular instances he has promoted and defended the Common Sense Revolution--the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party's own five-year plan of social and economic reform. In other words, it is my intention to examine how the revolution was and has been, on and at certain stages, performed. Specifically, how it had been enacted by Harris himself in order to promote a particular kind of 'confidence' which swept the Tories into office on June 8, 1995 and, despite such controversies as potentially detrimental cuts to education, health care and welfare, brought them into a second term on June 3, 1999. Through a close reading of his performances in a series of television advertisements aired in late 1996, I will contend that in these we witness the crux of an ongoing propaganda campaign which, through Harris, attempted to hail a specific segment of the population of Ontario by way of a carefully crafted and semiotically rich play of persuasion. This will lead to an examination of a televised interventionist performance by actor Mary Walsh of CBC Television's This Hour Has 22 Minutes. I will argue that through her own contesting semiotic play of confidence, she attempts to deconstruct and disrupt the cohesion the Harris Tories had up to then carefully established and maintained through the performances of their leader.
Beckett and Québec: "Je me souviens"?
Authors: Therrien Eve Irene
Published: December 2020

The article analyses the interpretations of Beckett's Waiting for Godot through the work of two Québécois artists: André Brassard's mises en scène and Dominic Champagne's play La Répétition, inspired by Godot. Against the universalism of Beckett's oeuvre, Brassard and Champagne have manipulated the play to demonstrate the specificities of their culture. While Brassard's latest mise en scène returns to the Québécois theatrical traditions of vaudeville, Champagne's original play is the result of a linguistic and cultural exploration of Québec.
"You do not understand ME": Hybridity and Third Space in Age of Iron
Authors: Severini Giorgia
Published: December 2020

This paper discusses the 1993 play Age of Iron in relation to Homi K. Bhabha’s theories of hybridity and Third Space. It also examines the play through responses to Bhabha’s theories (including those by Britta Kalscheur, Smadar Lavie, and Ted Swedenburg), that argue that hybrid forms cannot necessarily subvert the cultural power structure of White and Other. Age of Iron acknowledges that hybridity alone is not enough to create a Third Space. This is evident in Clements’s Cassandra, a hybrid character who represents First Nations women abused at the hands of both white men and men of their own communities, and also fills the role of the Greek mythological prophet. This paper examines Cassandra’s journey as she seeks to have her experiences of abuse acknowledged and ultimately understands that she will not receive validation from her white oppressors.
Speaking Up, Speaking Out, Or Speaking Back: The Signposts Are In The Right Direction
Authors: La Flamme Michelle
Published: December 2020

This collection of essays offers critical discussions that illuminate some of the power behind playwright Marie Clements’s vision. There are many ways to associate her work with different debates and questions that have animated Canadian literary criticism. Whether her work is linked to larger postcolonial concerns regarding the “coming to voice” of Aboriginal writers, framed within the rising interest and acceptance of Aboriginal theatre that has rocked the country since Highway’s seminal work Rez Sisters, or understood within a larger discourse around feminist writing, these essays suggest there is much interest in both the medium and the message in her work. Clements is also one of many Aboriginal (and postcolonial Canadian) playwrights whose work offers a revision of Canadian narratives predicated on the notion that Canada was “won” by the colonial imperative. Much fruitful discussion can come from understanding Clements's repeated thematic interest in this contentious Canadian history. Whether we understand her artistry as a playwright speaking up, speaking back, or speaking within, her work has the power to engage many scholars using diverse approaches to examine her plays.
Théâtre amateur et théâtre professionnel en Saskatchewan : d’Unithéâtre à La Troupe du Jour
Authors: Clarke Marie-Diane , Mak Nicole
Published: December 2020

Fondée en 1970 par Ian Nelson, David Edney et des étudiants du Cercle français de l’Université de la Saskatchewan, la troupe de théâtre amateur Unithéâtre adopte le mandat de promouvoir la langue française et la culture francophone dans le cadre universitaire et communautaire en Saskatchewan, et se fait rapidement valoir aux yeux du public francophone et anglophone. Son succès artistique dans le milieu théâtral amateur de la Saskatchewan favorise la création en 1985 d’une compagnie théâtrale professionnelle, La Troupe du Jour, dont les fondateurs Carmen Gareau, Alphonse Gaudet et Michel Quirion, anciens membres d’Unithéâtre, se donnent comme mission de refléter avant tout la réalité fransaskoise. Grâce au travail monumental de ses membres et de ses directeurs artistiques et administratifs, notamment Denis Rouleau et Dany Rousseau, La Troupe du Jour a connu depuis sa fondation un épanouissement qui l’a menée vers l’inauguration de son Centre de production en janvier 2011. Elle a su de plus ouvrir les portes de sa scène théâtrale pour établir une relation entre ses racines fransaskoises et les traces d’un ailleurs ou de l’autre, qu’il soit francophone ou anglophone. Grâce au Cercle des écrivains, qu’elle met sur pied en 2000, la troupe travaille à l’élaboration d’une dramaturgie fransaskoise.

Il va sans dire que lui succéder ne sera pas chose facile. J’aimerais prendre le temps ici de remercier Glen de sa patience, de sa gentillesse et de son appui tout au long de la période de transition. Je suis reconnaissante aussi envers Stephen Johnson, Barry Freeman, Erin Hurley, Louise Ladouceur, Kelsy Vivash et Shelley Liebembuk qui m’ont tant encouragée et qui ont travaillé si fort cette dernière année.
Sky Gilbert, Daniel MacIvor, and The Man In The Vancouver Hotel Room: Queer Gossip, Community Narrative, and Theatre History
Authors: Gindt Dirk
Published: December 2020

This essay outlines how the gossip surrounding Tennessee Williams’s visit to Vancouver in 1980 has influenced the narratives of gay communities and in so doing contributed to queer theatre history in Canada. Stories of Williams inviting young men to his hotel room and asking them to read from the Bible inspired Sky Gilbert and Daniel MacIvor to each write a play based on these events. The essay argues that Gilbert and MacIvor transcend the localized specificity of the initial rumours and deploy gossip as a tool to articulate a process of sexual and cultural marginalization, thereby fostering a dialogue with the past. This dialogue marks a crucial and pedagogical task in gay and queer theatre to address the on-going needs of an ever-changing community.

With less than 35 million people spread across a vast amount of terrain, Canada has one of the lowest population densities in the world. The nation includes an array of expansive spaces barely inhabited by people, such as the prairie steppes, maritime highlands, Arctic islands, and—at least according to ubiquitous accounts from scholars and critics—Canada’s theatrical stages.
Women’s Theatre Festivals as Counterpublics: Groundswell, FemFest, and The Riveter Series
Authors: Scott Shelley
Published: December 2020

On 3-4 May 2013, Calgary’s Urban Curvz theatre company held a cabaret called Girls Gone Wilde as part of a handful of events dubbed The Riveter Series. On their website, artistic director Vanessa Sabourin and artistic producer Jacqueline Russell explained that:A study conducted in 2006 on The Status of Women in Canadian Theatre estimated that while 59% of Canada’s theatre-going audience is female, only 27% of the plays produced in Canada are written by female playwrights. Inspired by Femfest (produced by Sarasvati Theatre in Winnipeg) and The Groundswell Festival (produced by Nightwood Theatre in Toronto), this event will feature sizzling staged readings to light up the Calgary stage across two nights. In a country where more and more brilliant female writers are born and made, Girls Gone Wilde will bring these commanding and arresting voices to the forefront of Canadian culture!
