Published: December 2020

The learning process in madrasas (Islamic-based elementary schools) is seen as being able to contribute to instilling values and norms in students following Islamic teachings. The issue of organizational culture and teacher performance also becomes a determining factor in creating a quality learning process. In this research, the aim is to determine: 1) the effect of organizational culture on the quality of the learn-ing process; 2) the effect of teacher performance on the quality of the learning process; and 3) the influ-ence of organizational culture on teacher performance. Respondents in this study were all class teachers from three madrasas as a sample representing all public madrasas in the city of Bandar Lampung, Indo-nesia. The results obtained indicate that the variables of organizational culture and the quality of the learning process have an influence, with R squared of 0.67 or 67%, which is classified as moderate. This shows that madrassas have implemented predetermined work culture values, namely: a) integrity, the harmony between correct thoughts, words, and deeds; b) professionalism, working in a disciplined, competent, and timely manner with the best results; c) innovation, perfecting existing and creating new and improved techniques and ideas; d) responsibility, working thoroughly and with thought for the con-sequences; and e) being exemplary, setting a good example for others.

Published: December 2020

Yugoslavya’nın 1990 yılında dağılma sürecine girmesiyle yaşanan çatışmalar ve bununla bağlantılı olarak dünya gündemine giren Bosna Savaşı, uluslararası medyanın olduğu kadar Türk basınının da ilgisini çekmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, 1990-1995 arası döneme odaklanılarak Türk medyasının önde gelen gazeteleri Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet ve Türkiye’nin haber, manşet ve köşe yazıları üzerinden bir inceleme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, söz konusu uluslararası kriz döneminde iç basındaki habercilik yönelimlerini, olayların ele alınış ve yorumlanış biçimlerini ve kamuoyunu etkileme bağlamındaki gazetecilik pratiklerini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma sonucunda gazetelerin uluslararası bir sorunu iç politikadaki konumlanmaları çerçevesinde değerlendirdikleri görülmüştür. Ayrıca, gazetelerin yayın politikalarının Türkiye’nin o dönemdeki dış politikasıyla olan ilişkisi ortaya koyulmuştur. Bunun yanında zaman zaman kullanılan duygulara dayalı gazetecilik dili, Osmanlı mirasına yönelik haberler ve dış politika haberlerindeki magazinleşme eğilimleri ön plana çıkmıştır.

Published: December 2020

Rumlar, Türk ordusunun Sakarya Zaferi sonrasında cephedeki gelişmelerle ilgili tam manasıyla bilgi sahibi olmasalar da işlerin Yunan ordusu için iyi gitmediğinin farkındaydılar. Yunanistan’ın Anadolu’yu terk edeceği söylentilerinden tedirginlik duyarak Rum erkekleri, Yunan ordusunun çekilmesi halinde direniş gerçekleştirmek amacıyla “Helen Anadolu Savunma Örgütü’nü [Elliniki Mikrasiatiki Amina (EMA)]” kurmuşlardır. Bu gelişmeyi “Anadolulu Rum Kadınlar Savunma Örgütü’nün [Amina Ellinidon Mikrasias (AEM)]” kurulması takip etmiştir. Makalemizin amacı Rum kadınların bu örgütünü gün yüzüne çıkarmak ve Mart-Ağustos 1922 tarihleri arasındaki faaliyetlerini İzmir Rum basın organlarından Amalthiya, Estia, Tharros, Patris ve Sinadelfos gazetelerinden yararlanarak ortaya koymaktır.
Anadolulu Rum Kadınlar Savunma Örgütü, Helen Anadolu Savunma Örgütü’ne ve Yunan ordusuna destek sağlamak amacıyla kurulmuş, merkez olarak İzmir’deki Omirion Kız Okulu’nu kullanmıştır. Örgüt kurulduktan sonra Anadolu’daki Rum kadınlarına ait pek çok cemiyet, örgütün şubeleri haline gelmiştir. Örgüt Anadolu’daki Yunan askerlerinin ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak üzere ianeler gerçekleştirerek yardımlar toplamış, aynı zamanda Yunanistan ve batılı devletlerdeki kadın kuruluşlarıyla diyalog kurmuş ve destek arayışına girmiştir. Omirion Kız Okulu’nda örgüt üyeleri tarafından Yunan askerleri için kıyafetler dikilmiştir.
AMERİKAN BASININDA DOĞU RUMELİ OLAYLARI (1878-1888)
Authors: KARAKOÇ Ercan , DURAK Gökhan
Published: December 2020

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu XIX. yüzyılda dağılma sürecindeydi. Osmanlı idaresindeki, Balkan coğrafyasında yaşayan gayrimüslim unsurlar milliyetçi fikirlerin etkisiyle ayaklanmaya başlamıştı. Bunlardan Bulgarlar, Rusya’nın desteği ile süreç içinde güç kazanmışlardı. 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı sonrasında imzalanan Ayastefanos Antlaşması’na göre bağımsız bir Bulgar Krallığı kurulması öngörülüyordu. Rusya’nın Bulgaristan üzerinden sıcak denizlere inme hedefine ulaşmasını ve Balkanlarda mutlak üstünlük kurmasını sağlayacak bu gelişme üzerine başta İngiltere olmak üzere büyük devletler duruma müdahale etmiş ve Berlin’de yeni bir antlaşma yapılmasını sağlamışlardır. Berlin Antlaşması ile sınırları daraltılmış özerk Bulgar Prensliği kurulmuş ve Osmanlı Devleti’ne bağlı Doğu Rumeli Vilayeti oluşturulmuştur. Bulgarlar, Doğu Rumeli’deki Osmanlı nüfuzunu zayıflatarak bölgeyi hâkimiyetleri altına almak için Filibe’de isyan çıkarmışlardır. Bölgede çatışmalar olmuş ve yaşanan hadiseler yabancı basin tarafindan akip edilmiştir. Nitekim Amerikan basınının da bölgedeki olayları tüm boyutlarıyla takip ettiği, haber ve yorumlarının Bulgarlar lehine olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durum, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin Osmanlı coğrafyasına yönelik siyasi ve ekonomik ilgisinin göstergesi sebebiyle ayrıca önem taşımaktadır.

Published: December 2020

Частицы силикатной пыли являются частью многих астрономических объектов, таких как кометы и околозвездные диски. В спектре силикаты проявляют ряд характерных эмиссионных особенностей. Обычно для изучения этих силикатных особенностей используется теория Ми, предполагающая, что рассеивающий объект является идеальной сферой. В данной работе мы исследовали вклад несферических частиц кварца (SiO2) в эти особенности. Исследовано влияние отклонения от сферичности на 10-микронную силикатную особенность кварца. Показано, что отклонение от сферичности оказывает существенное влияние как на интенсивность рассеянного света, так и на фактор рассеяния Qsca, причем с увеличением размера рассеивающей частицы это влияние возрастает. Изучены основные особенности этого влияния как для вытянутых, так и для сплюснутых сфероидов.
PERAN KELUARGA PASIEN UNTUK MENCEGAH AGAR TIDAK TERJADI BAHAYA DI PELAYANAN KESEHATAN
Authors: Aulia Tria
Published: December 2020

Keluarga adalah bagian dari tim pengobatan dan perawatan. Terutama di Indonesia dengan kultur sosialnya tinggi serta keterbatasan jumlah perawat di rumah sakit sehingga tugas merawat orang sakit yang dirawat di rumah sakit umumnya dilakukan oleh keluarga yang menjaga. Para anggota keluarga menunggui secara bergantian, bahkan sering menjaga bersama-sama. Sementara perawat di rumah sakit yang seharusnya merawat orang sakit juga harus melakukan tugas dan kewajibannya yang lain di bangsal perawatan. Jadi peran keluarga sangat penting untuk memantau kebutuhan pasien dari laporan perawat atau jika perlu melakukan komunikasi langsung. Komite Keselamatan Pasien Rumah Sakit/KKPRS (2008) mendefinisikan bahwa keselamatan,(safety) adalah bebas dari harm/cedera yang tidak seharusnya terjadi atau bebas dari harm yang potensial akan terjadi (penyakit, cedera / fisik / sosial / psikologis, cacat, kematian dan lain lain, terkait yang berhubungan dengan pelayanan kesehatan.Keluarga berperan dalam menentukan cara atau perawatan yang diperlukan pasien di rumah sakit. Keberhasilan perawat di rumah sakit akan sia-sia jika tidak diteruskan di rumah yang kemudian mengakibatkan pasien harus dirawat kembali (kambuh). Peran serta keluarga sejak awal perawatan di rumah sakit akan meningkatkan kemampuan keluarga merawat pasien di rumah sehingga memungkinkan pasien tidak kambuh atau dapat dicegah. Fungsi keluarga merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam mendukung peningkatan kualitas hidup pasien penyakit kronis. Memiliki kualitas hidup yang baik akan mengurangi risiko terjadinya komplikasi yang dapat memperburuk keadaan. Kualitas hidup adalah persepsi individu mengenai posisi mereka dalam kehidupan sesuai dengan konteks budaya dan sistem nilai dimana mereka hidup, serta dalam hubungannya dengan harapan, tujuan, standar yang ditetapkan oleh individu tersebut.

Equity in the health systems of middle income countries: a review or reviews - Protocol
Authors: Rodríguez-Páez Fredy Guillermo , Riaño-Casallas Martha Isabel , Palencia-Sánchez Francisco
Published: December 2020

The report of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CDS) calls for countries to work in favor of reducing inequalities in the health situation that consults the poorest and, which are the result of the situation in which the population grows, lives, works, and ages, in addition to the type of systems used to combat the disease and the degree of protection of said affected people. These systematic differences in health status, which can be avoided, is what is called health inequity. Urges the member countries of the WHO to correct these health differences that can be solved and that exist within each country as a matter of social justice, considering that the degree of development of societies can be judged by the quality of the state of health of the population, by how health problems are distributed along the social spectrum (Commission on Social Determinants in Health, 2008, p. 1). The Health Systems of lower-middle and upper-middle-income countries seek to improve access to health services, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable population. But the functioning of Health Systems can increase inequities in the most vulnerable population groups. It is necessary to know the mechanisms through which Health Systems can generate inequities, for which a systematic review of reviews of lower-middle and upper-middle-income countries was carried out from the year 2000 until March 2020.
Virtual hands: a comparative study of two text input paradigms for VR
Authors: Pastor Alvaro
Published: December 2020

Typing is still the primary input modality for computing systems. Most typical Virtual Reality (VR) setups replace users' capable hands and fingers with cumbersome hand-held controllers (HC). This study examines the hypothesis that finger interaction and realistic representation of users' hands increases typing performance, sense of Presence, and the usability of a typing system for a text transcription task in VR. We developed a hand and finger tracking and visualization system (VH) aimed to help users interact with on-screen keyboards in VR, and compared participants typing performance using HC. We found that the VH paradigm in VR significantly increased typing performance for inexperienced typists and that HC users were more prone to commit errors. Further research may delve deeper into the utility of VH input paradigm for people unable to grasp HCs and for other symbolic communications such as sign language.
Influence of contingency theory, moderating variable, and mediating effect on firm performance

Published: December 2020

Maksud dari contingency theory dalam (Pratono, 2016) adalah perusahaan dapat mencapai kinerja terbaik ketika struktur mereka relevan untuk menangani kontingensi yang dipaksakan oleh ukuran, teknologi, dan lingkungan mereka. Teori kontingensi memiliki maksud untuk memahami bagaimana perusahaan menyelaraskan kinerja yang diharapkan dengan lingkungan bisnis internal dan eksternal. Oleh karena itu, teori kontingensi menunjukkan perilaku perusahaan, yang diperlukan untuk kelangsungan hidup (Pratono, 2016). Pandangan kontingensi dapat memperkaya teori tentang strategi luar dengan menentukan kondisi dimana aktivitas jaringan dapat dikonfigurasi untuk mencapai hasil yang diharapkan. Pandangan kontingensi dari ikatan jaringan ini diharapkan dapat memandu perusahaan untuk membangun dan mengkonfigurasi koneksi mereka dengan pemangku kepentingan lain untuk memanfaatkan sumber daya mereka secara tepat waktu dan efektif (Peng & Turel, 2020).
HISTORY OF SEMIOTICS
Authors: JISH ELS
Published: December 2020

Augustine was the first to argue that the signum is a tool or means commonly used to carry out various types and levels of communication. This view was considered surprising in his day because in the philosophical world of Greece or ancient Rome, which was dominated by this philosophy, no single view of the sign was the same as we believe today. The root word "seme" is of course Greek, but in the Greek text itself the view of the sign is divided into two, namely between Semeion / Nature on the one hand and Symbol / Culture. Plato di Cratylus (c.385BC), as well as Aristotle in all of his works including Perihermenias [c.330BC: 16-20a; cf. Eco et al. 1986: 66-68], and Boethius [esp. inter 511-513AD] confirms the tendency of Augustine's opinion about the unity of signs (doktrina signorum)
Do demand characteristics contribute to minimal ingroup preferences?
Authors: Brew Kerry , Clark Taylar , Feingold-Link Jordan , Barth Hilary
Published: December 2020

“Minimal group” paradigms investigate social preferences arising from mere group membership. We asked whether demand characteristics contribute to children’s apparent minimal group bias in a preregistered experiment (N = 160). In a “group” condition, we attempted to replicate findings of bias following assignment to minimal groups. A second closely-matched “no-group” condition retained potential demand characteristics while removing group assignment. Parallel bias in the no-group condition would suggest that demand characteristics contribute to findings of apparent ingroup bias. Three main findings emerged. First, in the group condition, ingroup preference emerged in one of three bias measures only. Second, this preference emerged although participants evaluated ingroup/outgroup photos varying in race/ethnicity between trials. Third, the measure that yielded ingroup preferences in the group condition produced no parallel bias in the no-group condition, consistent with the view that mere membership in a group, not experimental demand, leads to minimal ingroup preferences.
Impact of Tax Policy on Labor Force Participation Rates
Authors: Xu Clark
Published: December 2020

Labor market theory suggests that a tax cut proportional to earned income will increase labor force participation rates. We formulate our research question: How does receiving the EITC change the number of hours that a single mother will work? We conclude that we have not found evidence that receiving the EITC has an impact on the total number of hours worked per week for a single mother.

Authors: Pan Atanu , Jana Debarshi
Published: December 2020

Background: Empyema thoracis (ET) is a serious infection of the pleural space. Despite the availability of broad spectrum antibacterial, improved vaccination coverage and better diagnostic tools, Empyema Thoracis remains associated with high morbidity worldwide. Delay   in   early   diagnosis,   failure   to institute   appropriate   antimicrobial   therapy,   multidrug resistant   organisms,   malnutrition,   comorbidities,   poor health  seeking  behaviour  and  high treatment  cost  burden contribute  to  increased  morbidity  in  children. The available  treatment  options  include  intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics  either  alone  or  in  combination  with surgical  procedure  (thoracocentesis,  chest  tube  drainage, fibrinolytic  therapy,  decortications  with  video  assistedthoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open drainage. Methods: Fifty Children between 1 month to 16 years admitted in the Pediatrics Ward, PICU of College of Medical Sciences, Bharatpur,Nepal. Data analysis was done by SPSS 24.0. Results: Present study found that according to blood culture, 3(6.0%) patients had enterococcus, 40(80.0%) patients had no growth, 2(4.0%) patients had pseudomonas, 4(8.0%) patients had staphylococcus and 1(2.0%) patients had streptococcus. We found that 20(40.0%) patients had done CT scan thorax, 30(60.0%) patients had not done CT scan thorax and 32(64.0%) patients had Amoxiclav first line antibiotic and 18(36.0%) patients had Ceftriaxone first line antibiotic. Conclusions: Suitable antibiotics and prompt chest tube drainage is an effective method of treatment of childhood empyema, especially in resource-poor settings. Majority of the patients progress on this conservative management and have good recovery on follow up.

Published: December 2020

With the advent of antenatal ultrasonography (USG), detection of neonatal intra-abdominal cystic lesions is on the rise. We present a neonate who was detected antenatally to have a cystic lesion per abdomen and presented with features of intestinal obstruction on first postnatal day. Emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed a left torsed ovarian cyst compressing the ileoceacal junction. Left oophorectomy was done and ovarian torsion was confirmed by histopathology examination. The USG abdomen at six months follow up showed a well visualised right ovary.
A Crossover Comparative Study to Assess Efficacy of 5% vs. 20% Albumin in the Treatment of Anasarca in Children with Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome
Authors: Garg Ajoy Kumar , Kalra Suprita , Kumar Ashutosh , Kanitkar Madhuri
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Co-administration of albumin and furosemide has shown better response than furosemide alone in managing anasarca among children with nephrotic syndrome. There are different concentrations of albumin available. The aim of this study was to compare diuretic response to co-administration of either 5% or 20% albumin with furosemide in these children.

Methods: It was a crossover randomised trial conducted on children with nephrotic syndrome with moderate to severe oedema at a tertiary care centre. They were  randomised to two groups; Group A (n = 14) received 5% albumin along with furosemide in midway followed by 20% albumin after washout period of 48 hrs and group B (n = 10) received albumin vice versa. Baseline and post therapy vitals, fluid intake, urine output and biochemistry were noted. Primary outcomes were increase in urine output and reduction in weight following co-administration of albumin with furosemide. For analysis of primary outcomes, two interventional arms were formed; group I (5% Albumin co-administered with furosemide) and group II (20% albumin co-administered with furosemide).

Results: Total children were 24 in each arm i.e. group I and II. Eighteen (75%) were males. Mean (range) age at enrolment and duration of illness were 55.3 (15 - 144) and 18.6 (1 - 120) months respectively. Mean difference (SD) in urine output were 1.52 (1.11) and 1.66 (0.95) ml/kg/hr (p = 0.12) and mean percentage weight loss were 2.25% (2.12) and 3.68% (3.84) in group I and II respectively (p = 0.64). On further comparing, urine output was significantly better when 5% albumin was co-administered with furosemide during first period than in second period.

Conclusions: Co-administration of either 5% or 20% albumin with furosemide is equally safe and effective in increasing urine output in children with anasarca.
Reversible Unilateral Abducens Nerve Palsy in a patient with Scrub Typhus - A Clinical Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Choudhary Rahul , Katoch Gaurav , Sachdeva Garima , Kushwah Sweta
Published: December 2020

Scrub typhus is an acute febrile rickettsial disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi. It infects endothelial cells and causes vasculitis, the predominant clinico-pathological feature of the disease. This results in disseminated inflammatory perivascular lesions leading to damage to the blood vessels affecting multiple end organs. Abducens nerve palsy is a known but extremely rare and reversible complication of scrub typhus. We present a case of scrub typhus with sixth cranial nerve involvement which responded to treatment with doxycycline.

Authors: Sharma Shashi , Richa . , Madan Sakshee , Singh Tanu , Sharma Bharat Bhushan
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Celiac disease is a common immune-mediated enteropathy characterised by villous atrophy. It has clinical phenotypes of classic, non-gastrointestinal and silent/subclinical or potential depending on the clinical phenotype. We intended to assess the clinical features and laboratory findings of patients with celiac disease and compare the classical celiac disease with non-gastrointestinal celiac disease.

Methods: This is a two-year cross-sectional study conducted at our institute. Children from one year to 18 years diagnosed as celiac disease based on the revised ESPGHAN criteria were enrolled. They were categorised into classical celiac disease and non-gastrointestinal celiac disease (atypical) and their clinical features and laboratory findings were documented.

Results: Forty patients had confirmed celiac disease. The mean age of the subjects was 6.84 ± 4.41 years, with male: female ratio of 1.85. The commonest presentations were failure to thrive (75%), anaemia (70%), associated rickets (67.5%) and 32% diarrhoea. Patients with classical features were identified at an earlier age than those with non-gastrointestinal celiac disease. Marsh grade 3a and above were more commonly seen in classical celiac disease. The most common symptom among the classical group was abdominal distension. Among the non-gastrointestinal group, the most common symptom was anaemia. Vitamin D deficiency was almost equally present in both groups.

Conclusions: Non-gastrointestinal celiac disease is not uncommon among our population. Patients with clinical features of recurrent abdominal pain, vomiting, failure to thrive, or merely short stature and refractory anaemia should be worked up for celiac disease.

Authors: Kumar Jagadish , Chowdary Satyesh , VG Manjunath , Das Sudha Kiran , Vuyyuru Manovihari
Published: December 2020

In sickle cell disease (SCD), the clinical manifestations are due to episodes of vascular occlusion and haemolysis. Most of the children experience vaso-occlusive pain episodes by the age of six years. Renal injury in sickle cell disease referred to as sickle cell nephropathy is a frequent yet under-recognised complication. Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) as the first presentation in SCD is rare. We are reporting a 12 year old child with no prior vaso-occlusive episodes, presenting with renal papillary necrosis due to Sickle Beta and Thalassemia.

Authors: Ervina Mia , Paramashanti Bunga Astria , Hadi Hamam , Rahmawati Nur Indah
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in preventing morbidity and mortality in infants and young children. However, exclusive breastfeeding coverage remains low, especially among working mothers. This study aimed to examine the relationship between early initiation of breastfeeding and prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in Bantul District, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia.

Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. The population were all women in reproductive age who worked in middle and large companies. Samples included mothers whose infants were aged six to 12 months and were selected by probability proportional to size sampling technique. Main outcome was exclusive breastfeeding, while the independent variable was the early initiation of breastfeeding. Statistical analysis were descriptive statistics test, chi-square test, and multiple logistic regression at the level of significance of 0.05.

Results: Exclusive breastfeeding coverage was around 22%, whilst the early initiation of breastfeeding coverage was 10%. Early initiation of breastfeeding was associated with exclusive breastfeeding practice (adjusted OR = 2.93; 95% CI: 1.04 - 8.28). Variables that were not significantly related to exclusive breastfeeding included being a first-time mother, maternal age, maternal educational level, breastfeeding counselling during antenatal visits, and delivery methods.

Conclusions: Early initiation of breastfeeding is associated with higher prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers. To increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage, particularly among employed women, it is highly recommended to enhance early initiation of breastfeeding program.

2. Funerary Treatment of Immature Deceased in Neolithic Collective Burial Sites in France. Were Children Buried with Adults?
Authors: Le Roy Melie , Rottier Stéphane , Santos Frédéric , Tillier Anne-Marie
Published: December 2020

In France, collective burial sites of the Late Neolithic period (3600-2100 BC) include a variety of structures ranging from simple pits and natural caves to hypogea and megalithic structures. The management of these graves raises questions about their representativeness and about burial practices involving non-adult individuals. This study of funerary selection based on age-at-death compares the results obtained for different sites and offers several potential interpretations concerning the integration of immature individuals in these collective tombs based on their age. The study highlights a particular selection observed in various funerary structures and a chronological difference between northern and southern France. These first results lead to a discussion of distinct cultural choices among different geographical areas.
10. Expoloring Age - Transition Analysis as a Tool for Detecting the Elderly
Authors: Maaranen Nina , Buckberry Jo
Published: December 2020

The growth of gender archaeology has improved the inclusion of female and juvenile narratives in archaeological discourse, enabling us to better understand interactions between groups defined by both social and physiological differences. There has been a notable absence of elderly in research, however, that is not simply a question of attitudes but of methodological limitations. The emergence of biostatistics has offered novel ways to combat common issues such as age mimicry and avoid the problematic nature of culturally loaded descriptive terminology. A test performed on Transition Analysis by Boldsen et al. (2002), generates individual age estimates, which allow for better differentiation between individuals and age groups, such as the ‘45+ older adults’. Further research into biostatistical methods will not only improve objectivity but bring much-needed attention to the elderly, including their narrative into the investigation of family dynamics and adult-juvenile interactions.
The Evolution of Governance at the Toronto School of Theology, 1969–2014
Authors: Hayes Alan L.
Published: December 2020

The Toronto School of Theology (TST), which is the name used for both a consortium of seven colleges founded in 1969 and a not-for-profit corporation established a year later, designed a governance for itself in 1970 that promoted the co-operation of the member institutions while safeguarding their autonomy. The TST’s bylaw—which entrenched conflicts of interest, confused corporation with consortium, loaded councils with both governance and administrative functions, assigned similar functions to different groups, and obscured lines of accountability—helped preserve the member colleges from unwelcome changes. Subsequently, however, two significant moments brought modifications to TST’s governance that may have been unavoidable but that subverted the consortium’s original controlling vision. These moments were TST’s first Memorandum of Agreement with the University of Toronto in 1979 and the university’s imposition of its new quality assurance regime in 2011. TST is now frequently caught between two masters: the member colleges that own it and the university that treats it, in many respects, as one of its academic units.
Doing Theology—Engaging the Arts—Toronto School of Theology
Authors: Franklin John
Published: December 2020

[Figure: see text]

The Toronto School of Theology (TST) has in recent years given new attention to the place of the arts in the task of theological education. Through events, discussions, and curricular changes, it has indicated its desire to include the aesthetic as a valued resource for theological understanding. The first part of this article notes developments in the dialogues concerning art and theology that have taken place in the Anglo-American world over the past few decades. These developments have produced an avalanche of literature on this theme. Some examples from that literature are cited, as well as key figures that have energized the conversations. The second part offers the author’s perspective on some threads in the unfolding story of an arts presence at TST.

Anton Wagner, editor. Establishing Our Boundaries: English-Canadian Theatre Criticism
Authors: Gardiner Jessica
Published: December 2020

When I was in elementary school, I remember my class being assigned a geography project. We were to outline and shade in colour a map of the Dominion of Canada. The map was mimeographed and distributed to each student. We were instructed to outline and label the ten provinces and two territories and to shade them in pink. Pink, it was explained, was the recognized colour of the British Commonwealth nations. The sea was to be blue. I remember that it was extremely important to me that I use Laurentian brand coloured pencils. The completed map was graded for how clearly and accurately we reproduced the lines on the mimeograph, and for how neatly and uniformly we shaded the colour. This year my fifteen year old son was asked, as part of the province of Ontario's new high school curriculum, to produce a similar map. In this case, his class was asked to outline each province and the three territories in the colour of their choice. He used a combination of marker and coloured pencil, no particular brand, and was graded for "presentation and organization." His sea, too, was blue. Each class was invited to be as creative as possible in creating their map of Canada within the confines and parameters of the exercise. If it were possible to place these maps side by side, a close reading might tell much about a shifting and evolving set of social and political values, as well as the individual skill employed, that allowed each student to chart their nation so differently. This example is perhaps too literal a metaphor for the exercise undertaken by the collection of essays contained in Establishing Our Boundaries: English Canadian Theatre Criticism, but in some respects it serves.
Yashdip S. Bains. English Canadian Theatre, 1765-1826
Authors: O'Neill Patrick B
Published: December 2020

In order to provide details of the early history of Canadian theatre, Dr. Yashdip Bains travelled widely for over a decade beginning in the mid-1970s to consult early Canadian newspapers held in libraries and archives in Canada, England, and the United States. The research task the author set for himself was formidable, and remains worthy of our admiration for the time and effort that went into his ambitious undertaking. As a result of that research, Dr. Bains published eleven articles in various journals between 1975 and 1985 that contributed to our knowledge of the development of theatre in Canada during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In English Canadian Theatre, 1765-1826, Dr. Bains has reworked those articles to provide a one volume "account of the development of theatricals from the beginnings of amateur and touring companies to the building of Canada's first commercial house in Montreal in 1825." It is good to have these material brought together in one work.

Helen Gilbert and Joanne Tompkins. Post-colonial Drama: Theory, Practice, Politics
Authors: Wilson Ann
Published: December 2020

Helen Gilbert's and Joanne Tompkins's Post-colonial Drama: Theory, Practice, Politics is a welcome addition to postcolonial studies. Written with enviable clarity, the volume offers a range of complex theoretical issues which inform considerations of plays as "postcolonial," and applies theory in succinct analyses of a number of plays. Given that postcolonial studies is marked by contentious debates, beginning with what the very term "postcolonial" means, Gilbert and Tompkins are to be commended for not eliding thorny issues. Instead, they engage with them, producing a study which develops a set of frames for approaching postcolonial drama.
Devenir Autre: Languages of Marco Micone's "culture immigrée"
Authors: Hurley Erin
Published: December 2020

Dans le théâtre de Marco Micone, dramaturge italo-québécois, la langue cherche à rendre compte du statut de l’immigrant au sein de la société québécoise et à reconceptualiser les paradigmes nationaux qui l’excluent. Parce que ce dramaturge occupe une position externe à la culture québécoise « pure laine » tout en ayant une affinité avec un grand nombre de ses investissements littéraires et politiques, sa trilogie dramatique exprime une position linguistique autre, externe au binaire franco/anglo normalisé au Québec. Dans chacune des pièces de Micone, les ruptures causées par l’immigration et l’étrangeté linguistique sont thématisées en tant que silence et dépossession culturelle. Le dramaturge produit un vernaculaire français innovateur et hybride, infléchi par l’italien et l’anglais, un mode d’expression des plus adaptés à la culture immigrante polyglotte de Montréal. Cette langue de contact est à l’avant-garde de la présence du sujet italo-québécois sur la scène québécoise. De plus, elle agit sur la langue française pour y inscrire les différences linguistiques et culturelles qui se trouvent en ses marges.
Cultural Evolution in Newfoundland Theatre: The Rise of the Gros Morne Theatre Festival
Authors: Devine Michael
Published: December 2020

Cet article est une exploration des forces qui se sont unies au sein du monde du théâtre à Terre-Neuve à partir de 1970 pour créer le succès que connaît aujourd’hui le Grose Morne Theatre Festival. Jusqu’à présent, peu de chercheurs se sont intéressés à la genèse des premiers festivals de théâtre à Terre-Neuve. Or, les événements comme celui de Gros Morne restent intimement liés aux premières formes indigènes d’expression culturelle à Terre-Neuve, et il importe qu’on s’y attarde.
Daughters of the Carnivalized Nation in Jean-Pierre Ronfard’s Shakespearean Adaptations Lear and Vie et mort du Roi Boiteux
Authors: Drouin Jennifer
Published: December 2020

Québec theatre abounds with Shakespearean adaptations (not counting translations, another genre entirely). Jean-Pierre Ronfard’s texts contributed significantly to this corpus of adaptations which seek to appropriate “le grand Will” to work through Québécois issues. In Lear (1977) and Vie et mort du Roi Boiteux (1981),we see the evolution of the importance of nationalism and feminismbefore and after the referendum.The nation is destroyed by Rabelaisian carnival, but carnivalesque death is always associated with regeneration, which, in Ronfard’s works, is entrusted to regal daughters in whom we can find hope for the reconstruction of the nation once its bastardry has been celebrated. Ronfard’s plays also comprise ametafictional critique of Shakespeare himself who literally enacts the theory of the death of the author while giving birth to another Shakespeare who is entirely Québécois.
Postmodern Display: Staging the Mind of Marshall McLuhan
Authors: Whittaker Robin C.
Published: December 2020

Creatively commingling the life and theories of Canadian media icon Marshall McLuhan may yield robust material for negotiating and staging postmodern performance. This article considers certain of McLuhan’s theories that have parallels to influential postmodern theoretical constructions and the ways in which these parallels are ripe for performance. It considers the uneasy relationship between dramaturgies and dialectics, and deals with frequent criticisms leveled at postmodern thought, including a hectic rejoicing over consumerism,a cacophony of signs,and the dangers of incorporating into performance the mixed-media environments inherent toMcLuhanismand postmodernism alike. Finally, the article considers the potential for mixed-media performance to engage with social objectives linked to producing alternative theatre. But it begins and ends by asking the question: Do artists who attempt to stage theory risk allowing the theory to distract from and overwhelm the performance? In order to probe these effects, the sprawling Edmonton science-fiction “Alt-Rock Opera,” The Illumination of Marshall McLuhan, is offered as a case study.
In the Family Way: The Politicization of Motherhood in Merrill Denison’s Marsh Hay (1923)
Authors: Lindgren Allana
Published: December 2020

Merrill Denison’s 1923 play Marsh Hay explores how the pregnancy of an unwed teenager affects her destitute family in rural Ontario. This article offers a new reading of Marsh Hay, arguing that the play critiques and revises normative views about maternity from a liberal feminist perspective. Many of the ideas presented in Marsh Hay can be traced to the playwright’s suffragist mother, Flora MacDonald Denison. There are also several moments in the play that address issues related to motherhood that were particularly topical in the early 1920s. Finally, this article examines the critical responses to the play’s publication as well as to its three known productions to determine how Marsh Hay can provide access to evolving attitudes toward maternity in Canada.
Identities of Ambivalence: Judith Thompson's Perfect Pie
Authors: Moser Marlene
Published: December 2020

This paper examines Judith Thompson’s Perfect Pie, using Judith Butler’s discussion of subjectivity in The Psychic Life of Power. According to Butler, stability as a subject necessitates a simultaneous recognition and denial of subjugation to power, but this stability is also constantly threatened by desire which promises to destabilize the subject. Desire is therefore thwarted in order to guarantee the subject’s existence. As Butler points out, the process of subject formation resemblesmelancholia: the subject is never fully able to disengage from the discursive and psychic means by which it is constituted.
George Ryga's "Hail Mary" and Tomson Highway’s Nanabush: Two Paradigms of Religion and Theatre in Canada
Authors: Pell Barbara
Published: December 2020

In 1967 George Ryga wrote The Ecstasy of Rita Joe, ironically celebrating Canada’s centennial with the first Canadian play to portray the tragedy of our aboriginal peoples; it subsequently became a canonical staple of Canadian theatre. Depicting the martyrdom of a Native girl on the streets of Vancouver, it was a powerful consciousness-raising experience for its white, middle-class audiences. Nevertheless, the play simplistically sentimentalised the aboriginal plight as the victimisation of passive children by irresponsible white parents: a Eurocentric, patriarchal paradigm that reflected the Department of Indian Affairs’ assimilation-ist policies.
Set Design as Cosmic Metaphor: Religious Seeing and Theatre Space
Authors: Mendes Tanit , Tulloch Janet
Published: December 2020

Gary Taylor, a noted Shakespearean scholar, defines "theological architecture" as theatre space that is built with a religious hierarchical understanding. This paper considers the use of theological architecture to define the physical space of gods and humans in Michael Levine’s set designs for the Canadian Opera Company’s Die Walküre and Siegfried on Toronto’s Hummingbird stage. In particular this paper examines Levine’s use of theatrical space to create both vertical and horizontal cosmologies, the former embedded within the western stage itself and the latter embedded within the Norse religion that informs the Ring Cycle. The effect produces an alternating form of perception for the audience-viewers, the first psychological and the second a form of viewing known as"religious seeing."
Jean du Berger. Le diable à la danse
Authors: Cyr Catherine
Published: December 2020

Ouvrage dense et riche, Le Diable à la danse est le fruit d’une recherche où se rencontrent, autour d’un même thème, les réflexions croisées de l’auteur sur les contes et légendes de l’Amérique française, la littérature orale, la mémoire rurale et urbaine, le sens et la fonction du récit dans la transmission de la mémoire. Folkloriste reconnu, professeur retraité de littérature québécoise et d’ethnologie à l’Université Laval, Du Berger avait initialement présenté Le Diable à la danse comme thèse de doctorat, en 1980. Si le ton de l’ouvrage, quelque peu scolaire, trahit sa provenance, la lourdeur académique est largement compensée par le foisonnement des exemples choisis et par la finesse du parcours analytique proposé. Celui-ci, reposant sur un corpus désormais augmenté—l’auteur ayant intégré des versions contemporaines des récits où le diable et ses avatars interviennent dans les fêtes humaines, tels des contes urbains et certaines légendes affichées sur Internet—permet de comprendre, par la multitude des récits, les diverses articulations orales et littéraires d’unmême thème.Audelà de la dimension esthétique, par le biais d’une réflexion qui emprunte à l’ethnographie culturelle, l’étude permet également « de tenir compte du rôle de ces récits dans la vie collective » (26).
MichelOuellette, sous toutes les coutures: Présentation
Authors: Ladouceur Louise
Published: December 2020

Ce dossier a pris forme à la suite d’un atelier portant sur la littérature franco-ontarienne que Patrick Leroux et moi avions organisé en mai 2005 et qui fut présenté à la University ofWestern Ontario dans le cadre d’un colloque parrainé par l’Association des littératures canadiennes et québécoise et l’Association pour la recherche théâtrale au Canada. Lors de cet atelier, les études proposées, qui traitaient toutes du théâtre de Michel Ouellette, examinaient avec une insistance particulière sa pièce Le testament du couturier. Ilm’a semblé alors que cette pièce marquait un tournant dans l’élaboration du répertoire dramatique franco-ontarien et qu’il fallait marquer le coup en publiant un dossier qui rendrait compte de cette nouveauté. Dans cette optique, les trois articles et le texte autocritique qui suivent constituent un kaléidoscope de lectures dont cette pièce est le point d’ancrage.
Performing Academic Spaces: An Ethnodramatic Exploration of Drama Curriculum Design in Teacher Education
Authors: Medina Carmen , Belliveau George , Weltsek Gus
Published: December 2020

New perspectives in teacher education call for ways to decentre our practices and reflect on the ideological discourses that frame approaches to teacher preparation. As a group of newly hired professors asking how best to prepare drama teachers, we realize that our life journeys as artists and educators situate our teaching in particular ways. In this piece we shared the results of a collaborative process of self-reflection.The performative approach allowed intersections, social complexities and multiple ideologies between us to become sites for devising and mapping teacher preparation in drama.
