Addressing the Senate’s “Triple-Deficit”: The Senate as Driver of its own Reform
Authors: Dodek Adam
Published: June 2017

Instead of arguing for or against a “Triple-E” Senate, I argue that, whatever one’s position on the Senate (short of abolition), the Senate suffers from a “Triple Deficit”: (1) an integrity deficit; (2) a legitimacy deficit; and (3) a democratic deficit. It suffers from an integrity deficit because of the reputation that the Senate has for not being a particular demanding job, and, more importantly, because of recent scandals that are a continuation of a history of scandal which the Senate has never taken concrete steps to address. The Senate suff ers from a legitimacy deficit because of the integrity deficit and because of its history of patronage appointments. Finally, it suffers from a democratic deficit for more than the obvious reason that it is unelected. As the Supreme Court stated in the Quebec Secession Reference, democracy as it has come to be understood in Canada means more than simply respect for majority will: “to be accorded legitimacy, democratic institutions must rest, ultimately, on a legal foundation.  That is, they must allow for the participation of, and accountability to, the people, through public institutions created under the Constitution.  The system must be capable of refl ecting theaspirations of the people.” Rather than allowing for public participation and accountability, the Senate has allowed itself to become isolated from the Canadian people. This sense of isolation has exacerbated the Senate’s democratic deficit and has led Canadians to view it as distant, elitist, andout of touch with the people.
INVERTING IMAGE AND REALITY: R. V. SHARPE AND THE MORAL PANIC AROUND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
Authors: Gotell Lise
Published: June 2017

In the atmosphere of high anxiety surrounding the Supreme Court’s decision in R. v. Sharpe, abnormal and normal collide and fantasy and representation become equated with reality. It is my intent in this short article to explore the complex cultural and political conditions that give meaning to the Supreme Court’s unanimous endorsement of stiff criminal penalties for possessing sexual representations of adolescents and children. In the Criminal Code provisions on child pornography and in the discursive web woven by both the majority and minority opinions in Sharpe, anxieties about the well-being of children are being projected onto the highly symbolic target of child pornography. Any dissent is pathologized and cast into what has become an elastic category — “the pedophile.” As Weeks writes, “[m]oral panic occurs in complex societies when deep rooted and difficult to resolve social anxieties become focussed on symbolic agents that can be easily targeted.”2 There is strong evidence that we are in the midst of a moral panic around child pornography, the contours of which require careful analysis.
Legislators and Religious-Based Reasoning
Authors: Ginn Diana , Blaikie David , Goldstein Micah
Published: June 2017

In a secular, multicultural, liberal democratic society founded on the rule of law, is it appropriate for legislators (or political candidates) to refer to religious beliefs or texts when discussing a government initiative or urging action on a particular issue? Such references might be used for various purposes: to explain the speakers’ own beliefs; to emphasize that an issue has been around for a long time and therefore should be taken seriously; to elucidate historical influences on a particular law; or to give weight to a particular argument by buttressing it with religious authority. In Canada today, do ethics, law, or political theory offer persuasive reasons to limit any such references to religion in parliamentary debate or political campaigning?
Conacher Missed the Mark on Constitutional Conventions and Fixed Election Dates
Authors: Heard Andrew
Published: June 2017

Given the fundamental role that conventions play in the Canadian constitution, it is not surprising that litigants try from time to time to engage the courts in defining or even enforcing the terms of a particular convention. The Federal Court’s September 2009 decision in Conacher v. Canada (Prime Minister)1 is the latest high-profile example. Duff Conacher, Coordinator of Democracy Watch, had launched a court case that challenged the 2008 federal election call as contravening either the provisions of the government’s fixed-date election law (Bill C-16,2 passed in 2007), or conventions supporting the law. The Federal Court rejected Conacher’s application, holding among other things that there was no constitutional convention constraining the prime minister from advising an election before the October 2009 date prescribed in the statute. Conacher’s appeal was also rejected. In May 2010, the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the lower court’s decision, stating that "no such convention exists" based on the evidentiary record.3 For many observers, the Conacher decision may seem unsurprising and solidly based on the existing jurisprudence dealing with constitutional conventions.
Les leçons de Jordan, II : l’article 33 de la Charte canadienne ne permet pas de suspendre la répartition fédérative des compétences
Authors: St-Hilaire Maxime
Published: June 2017

Contrairement à ce qu’ont laissé entendre certains médias, l’arrêt que la Cour suprême du Canada a rendu dans l’affaire Jordan ne contient pas de dissidence. Il s’agit plutôt d’un jugement unanime au sens propre, c’est-à-dire relativement à la disposition de l’affaire, mais consignant dans sa motivation une divergence de vues sur la nécessité d’intégrer des échéances à l’interprétation du droit constitutionnel de l’accusé d’être jugé à l’intérieur d’un délai raisonnable. Le jugement comprend ainsi les motifs concordants de quatre juges sur une formation, en l’occurrence maximale, de neuf. Motifs concordants et dissidents confondus, la présence d’au moins une opinion divergente se serait observée dans 46% des jugements publiés sur la période qui s’est écoulée de 1982 — date de la dernière grande révision constitutionnelle — à 2008. Cela est sans incidence sur la contribution d’un jugement de la Cour suprême à l’état du droit positif et, sans bien sûr exclure la critique, n’est pas censé affaiblir l’autorité reconnue aux tribunaux dans une culture d’État de droit démocratique moderne.

The Constitutionality of Prorogation
Authors: Adams Eric
Published: June 2017

At 10:20 a.m. on 4 December 2008 — some forty minutes after Prime Minister Stephen Harper entered Rideau Hall to request that the Governor General, Michaëlle Jean, prorogue Canada’s fortieth Parliament — the media re- ported an exciting development: the front doors opened. Reporters began to speculate that the meeting had been decisive, and an anxious na- tion awaited the Prime Minister’s appearance to announce the Governor General’s decision. But then, other than the descent of a few er- rant snowflakes, nothing happened. “It’s been 6 minutes since you reported the front door opened — what’s going on over there?” a des- perate commentator pleaded on the National Post’s live blog.2 For over thirty minutes the doors remained curiously ajar, and then — at 11:01 a.m. — they closed. When the Prime Minister finally did emerge nearly an hour after that, having spent a total of two and a half hours inside Rideau Hall, he informed Canadians that the Governor General had agreed to follow his advice and prorogue (or suspend) Parliament until 26 January 2009.
An Opportune Moment: The Judicial Appointment Reforms and the Judicial Credentials Demanded by the Charter
Authors: Nadler Daniel
Published: June 2017

In 2005, Minister of Justice Irwin Cotler proposed and tabled in Parliament a number of reforms to the federal judicial appointment process. These reforms were designed to increase the transparency and enhance the accountability of the procedures by which judges are appointed to federally operated Canadian courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Included in the reform package was a Code of Ethics for members of the judicial appointment committees, as well as a directive to publish on an annual basis the identity of the members of the judicial appointment committees, the number of total applications for judicial office, and the number of that total that have been recommended or highly recommended by the committee. Crucially, a set of guidelines for the operation of the judicial appointment committees was provided, which outlined the overriding principles that committee members were to consider during the appointment advisory process.

The Constitution Act, 1982: the Foreseen and Unforeseen
Authors: Strayer Hon. Barry L.
Published: June 2017

I started preparations for my first constitu- tional conference in an office overlooking Was- cana Lake nearly forty-seven years ago. I was a young lawyer in the Department of the Attor- ney General of Saskatchewan. Prime Minister Diefenbaker had announced that there would be a Conference of Attorneys-General in early October 1960, chaired by Justice Minister Ful- ton, to seek agreement on “Repatriation of the Constitution.” As I expressed interest in the conference to the Attorney General, and had recently taught constitutional law for a year at the University of Saskatchewan, I was made the secretary of the Saskatchewan delegation. This involved most of the work of research and writ- ing position papers and speeches. But it also in- volved making hotel and travel reservations for which I claimed no particular skill! Of course, after four such meetings in 1960 and 1961 we reached no agreement on repatriation, but it gave me on the job training in constitutional reform.

A Recent History of Government Responses to Constitutional Litigation
Authors: Mathen Carissima
Published: June 2017

The 2006 Canadian federal election, which brought the Conservative Party to power for the first time, shifted the dynamics of constitutional advocacy. The government adopted a combative litigation posture, channeled through aggressive political messaging and uncompromising choices. Since the return to power in 2015 of the Liberal Party, many expect a more respectful attitude towards litigants, the courts and the Constitution. Certainly, the new government appears more positively disposed to constitutional rights and judicial review. As a result, Canadians are less likely to witness an openly hostile attitude towards the judiciary. That said, it is impossible to predict the precise way that the new government will respond to constitutional litigation.The observations that follow largely focus on government responses to final judicial settlement of constitutional disputes. But there is, as well, much to be gleaned from how a government conducts itself during litigation. While the latter issue does not feature prominently in this paper, it informs some of the concluding comments.
UNDERSTANDING LAW AND RELIGION AS CULTURE: MAKING ROOM FOR MEANING IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE
Authors: Berger Benjamin L.
Published: June 2017

The relationship between law and religion in contemporary civil society has been a topic of increasing social interest and importance in Canada in the past many years. We have seen the practices and commitments of religious groups and individuals become highly salient on many issues of public policy, including the nature of the institution of marriage, the content of public education, and the uses of public space, to name just a few. As the vehicle for this discussion, I want to ask a straightforward question: When we listen to our public discourse, what is the story that we hear about the relationship between law and religion? How does this topic tend to be spoken about in law and politics – what is our idiom around this issue – and does this story serve us well? Though straightforward, this question has gone all but unanswered in our political and academic discussions. We take for granted our approach to speaking about – and, therefore, our way of thinking about – the relationship between law and religion. In my view, this is most unfortunate because this taken-for-grantedness is the source of our failure to properly understand the critically important relationship between law and religion.
A Constitutional Discussion of Participatory Democracy in Greece

A high level of mistrust toward institutions of representative democracy occurs within Greece, dramatically increasing in recent years. As indicated in the 2013 European Commission’s Standard Eurobarometers, the tendency to trust the Parliament has reached 10-12%, while the respective percentage of trust toward the government is only 9-10%. Unavoidably, the severe economic crisis in Greece and its consequences have influenced the country’s citizenry.
A Level Playing Field for Classical Liberalism: the Abolition of the Court Challenges Program Empowers a Diversity of Perspectives on Freedom and Equality
Authors: Carpay John
Published: June 2017

In 1982, Canada abandoned its parliamen- tary democracy for an American model of con- stitutional democracy in which unelected, and hence unaccountable, judges exercise substan- tial legislative power. Before the Canadian Char- ter of Rights and Freedoms1 became the supreme law of the land, Canada’s Parliament and pro- vincial legislatures were essentially sovereign, limited only by the federal-provincial division of powers in sections 91 and 92 of the Constitu- tion Act, 1867.2 Activism and advocacy in the democratic political arena were the only ways to bring about policy change. But since 1982, Canadian judges — like their United States (U.S.) counterparts — play a very active role in shaping public policy on a wide range of issues, many of them complex and controversial.

Guiding the Governor General’s Prerogatives: Constitutional Convention Versus an Apolitical Decision Rule
A Democratic Defence of the Court Challenges Program
Authors: Kloegman Larissa
Published: June 2017

The introduction of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms1 has provided many historically disadvantaged groups with an opportunity to have their rights acknowledged in the policy process. Indeed the Charter places a legal ob- ligation upon governments to ensure their leg- islative efforts respect the rights of historically disadvantaged groups. Some claim, however, that the Charter has produced activist judges who create rights for “special” interest groups rather than defer to Parliament. Others sug- gest Canada’s parliamentary system is not, on its own, favourable to all Canadians, and many groups and individuals are forced to the courts to make their interests and concerns known to government policy makers and legislators. The Court Challenges Program (CCP) was at the centre of this debate. This modest, federally funded initiative contributed to the protection and promotion of Canada’s official language mi- nority groups (OLMGs) for almost thirty years, and provided assistance to groups seeking to as- sert their section 15 Charter rights for almost twenty. The Court Challenges Program served as a last resort for many of Canada’s most dis- advantaged groups, but the Harper government recently took the position that the CCP was one of several “wasteful programs” not “providing good value for money.”2 Funding for the pro- gram was eliminated in 2006, silencing many of Canada’s most vulnerable groups.

Religious Accommodation and its Limits: The Recent Controversy at York University
Authors: Moon Richard
Published: June 2017

A recent request for religious accommodationat York University has generated controversynot just about the merits of the particular claimbut also about the general practice of religiousaccommodation under human rights codes andthe Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Iwill argue that the York case highlights the difficulty in treating religion as a ground of discriminationand more generally in fi tting religioninto an equality rights framework. Th isdiffi culty stems from the complex character ofreligious adherence, which can be viewed as botha personal commitment to a set of claims abouttruth and right and as a cultural identity that isexpressed in shared spiritual practices. Whenreligion is viewed as a cultural identity, it seemsright that it be accommodated, unless this wouldcause “undue hardship” to others. Yet when it isviewed as a set of beliefs about right and truth,particularly when those beliefs are inconsistentwith public values, it is not clear why it ought tobe accommodated.

From West to East to West: A case study on Japanese wine manga translated in French
Authors: Jones Jason Christopher , Normand-Marconnet Nadine
Published: June 2017

Author of a dozen reputable works on wine, M. Dovaz composed the foreword for the French translation of the Japanese graphic novel, Kami no Shizuku (2005), released in France as Les Gouttes de Dieu (2008). This manga has become a best-seller in its genre in France while the Japanese television adaptation has also reached a French audience through fansubs, allowing a new generation to gain access to that which had hitherto been seen as its own cultural patrimony.

Integral to this wine culture is the ability to “talk about” its central object, in spite of linguistic or geographical separation. The central challenge being to efficiently associate words to a fleeting sensation provoked by visual, olfactory and gustative experience, a specific linguistic knowledge is necessary for those who wish to claim proficiency in wine. The critical narrative arc and didacticism of wine manga rests in the mastery of lexical sophistication as well as cultural knowledge, a posture also shared by most French experts.

The language of wine, the power center of which once resided in France, has been brought into Japan through the act of translation. This very act has allowed for a shift in power—and thus the potential to represent the wine world—from France to Japan. We will show in this paper that there is an interplay occurring between French and Japanese media, producing a cultural space bridged through wine lexicon used in two series of manga recently translated into French (Sommelier in 2004 and Les Gouttes de Dieu in 2008).

For this purpose, we will proceed to a comparative analysis of the Japanese source text with the French target text, highlighting metaphors used in wine culture. Through the analysis of the texts, we will demonstrate that the Japanese-French translations of these metaphors allow a new way for the French to see their culture through a lense provided by the Japanese sommelier.
Translating Prešeren's ‘Wreath of Sonnets’: Formal Aspects
Authors: Priestly Tom
Published: June 2017

This article describes and evaluates a co-authored translation of France Prešeren’s “Sonetni venec [A Wreath of Sonnets]” (1834), which has been translated once before into English, namely by Vivian de Sola Pinto in 1954. Having sketched the background to the undertaking, the author describes the structure of “Wreaths of Sonnets” in general and mentions some examples from English literature. He then places “Sonetni venec” in Prešeren’s oeuvre. Next, he exemplifies two other translations of “Wreaths” into English (one from Danish, the second from Czech). Most of the article is devoted to the strategy employed in this latest undertaking, a very complex and challenging one. Three particular problems had to be solved, given that the aim was to produce a translation that, formally, would be as close near feasible to the original. The first involved metre: Prešeren’s original was in iambic pentameters with feminine rhymes in line-finals; the translators chose to reject feminine rhymes, and their reasons are provided. Second, which particular frequently-recurrent rhymes would be chosen, given that one had to occur 24 times and another 18 times? This choice, also, is described. Third, Prešeren’s original has an acrostic in the Master Theme: we decided to attempt one in our version. The whole evaluation, which is some details compares this translation with the one by Pinto, is limited to an extremely formal framework.

Traduire jusqu’au point de non-pouvoir : approche de l’engagement blanchotien
Authors: Shuling Tsai Stéphanie
Published: June 2017

In the early 60’s, Blanchot participated with a group of European intellectuals in the process of conceptualizing an international journal based on translation. In our intent to inquire into Blanchot’s approach of « engagement » in the course of the project, the present study will examine differences between Blanchot and Levinas in regards to the notion of « non-pouvoir », which directs the task of the translator towards the point of fascination or inspiration in Blanchot’s terms. The point of no-power opens possibilities to various modes of translations, questioning the limits of the subject-translator by challenging the proper form of the Original.

Notre intention ici est d’aborder, à partir de la conceptualisation d’une revue que M. Blanchot a créé avec d’autres intellectuels européens au début des années soixante, une réflexion sur l’engagement blanchotien, et de centrer notre analyse sur la différence de la notion de « non-pouvoir » entre Blanchot et Levinas, le point de fascination, ou d’« inspiration » pour reprendre les termes de Blanchot. Le concept de traduction sera l’occasion pour nous d’interroger la capacité du sujet-traducteur à remettre en cause l’idée du sens propre d’un texte.
Translating Gjergj Fishta's epic masterpiece, Lahuta e Malcis, into English as The Highland Lute
Authors: Mathie-Heck Janice
Published: June 2017

The Highland Lute, the Albanian national epic poem, contains 15,613 lines. It mirrors Albania’s difficult struggle for freedom and independence which was finally achieved in 1912. It was important for Robert Elsie and I to achieve an atmosphere similar to that of other important European epics such as Beowulf (England), The Kalevala (Finland), and the grand medieval poems of the eleventh and twelfth centuries such as The Song of Roland (France), Nibelungenlied (Germany), and Poem of the Cid (Spain). Rhythmically, The Highland Lute is very much like the American writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem, Hiawatha, parts of which I loved to recite as a young girl.

Our task with translating The Highland Lute into English has been to make the language relevant and understandable for the modern reader while still retaining its colloquial, archaic, majestic, and heroic feel which gives a strong sense of the past. Quite a challenge! We translated many expressions unique to Gheg, and did our best to describe symbols of Albanian mythology and legend such as oras (female spirits), zanas (protective mountain spirits), draguas (semi-human figures with supernatural powers), shtrigas (witches), lugats (vampires), and kulshedras (seven-headed dragon-like creatures). We kept the octosyllabic rhythm consistent throughout, and we captured the qualities common to all epics: alliteration, assonance, repetition, hyperbole, metaphor, archaic figures of speech, concrete descriptions, colour, drama, passion, a range of emotions, intensity, sensuality, lots of action, rhyme where possible, and an exalted, dignified tone.
Very Feminine, Yet Unmercifully Intelligent. A Portrait of the Dutch Critic and Translator Elisabeth de Roos (1903-1981)
Authors: Brems Elke , De Man Dorien
Published: June 2017

The Dutch author and translator Elisabeth de Roos has largely been ignored by literary historians. Nevertheless, she played a major role in the literary scene in the Netherlands between 1925 and 1955. She was a very productive and respected essayist, critic, journalist and translator, but in the rearview mirror of literary history her husband Eddy du Perron outshined her. The contemporary gender discourse, in which de Roos herself took part, created a blind spot for the contribution to innovation and poetical conceptualisation of female authors. The infamous journal Forum to which both she and her husband contributed was a mouthpiece for a masculine discourse: being a fellow was the highest goal. After their marriage her husband pursued his writing career, whereas de Roos took care of the household and was the family breadwinner by writing journalistic pieces instead of literary work. After her husband’s death at the start of the Second World War, de Roos started to work as a translator, a profession in which she soon gained a high degree of expertise and professionalism. She wrote lengthy and substantial essays as prefaces to her translations, revealing her thoughtful literary ideas that preferred intellect and lucidity to melodrama and sentimentality and partis pris to half-heartedness. An analysis of her translation of Wuthering Heights suggests she didn’t smoothen the source text to please the target audience, in accordance with her poetics.
Pottering Around: Harry Potter in Translation
Authors: Penrod Lynn
Published: June 2017

By May of 2008 worldwide sales of Harry Potter books hovered around the 400 million mark, making these texts the most widely-read works of children’s literature in history. To date the books have been translated into 67 languages. Given the particular translation issues involved in the translation of these highly imaginary English texts (culture, rhymes, anagrams, acronyms, invented words, proper nouns and names, among many others) combined with the series’s incredibly lucrative sales success, it is not surprising that the international translation process has become highly competitive as well as highly problematic. Unauthorized or pirate translations, fake translations, Americanization as translation—all of these lead us to a basic questioning of the role of the translator and just how much of an impersonator s/he is required to be by the task of translation.

Play for Two Voices: On Translating the Poetry of Anja Utler
Authors: Beals Kurt
Published: June 2017

Written in the form of a dialog between translator and translation theorist, this article considers both the difficulty and the necessity of a reciprocal, mutually informed relationship between translation theory and practice. The starting point of the article is my experience translating the poetry of Anja Utler, a contemporary Austrian poet whose linguistic experimentation poses a significant translation challenge. Utler's poetry functions in part by means of what she calls “interweaving” (“Verflechtung”), making use of highly polysemous words to efface boundaries between landscape, body, and language. In addition to blurring semantic lines, Utler also employs certain syntactical and grammatical characteristics of the German language (such as separable prefixes) in unorthodox ways that multiply possibilities of meaning. One of the greatest difficulties for a translator, then, is to find ways of approximating this semantic and syntactic play and innovation in a language that rarely offers a one-to-one equivalent. In addition to addressing specific practical issues in translating Utler's poetry, I consider the role that translation theory played in shaping my translation strategies, and more generally the interaction between the theoretical conceptualization of translation and its actual execution. I also describe my communication with the author, who has contributed greatly to the translation process, supporting an idea of translation as collaboration. Translation theory and practice appear less as correctives to each other than as a cooperative undertaking, part of a conversation between translator, theorist, author, and reader from which, ideally, all sides benefit in the end. By portraying this exchange as an internal dialog, I hope to demonstrate that the realms of translation practice and theory are not alien to one another, but rather engaged in constant, productive exchange, both within the mind of the individual translator/theorist and on the level of translation as a social phenomenon.
Jorge Prelorán: un cineasta argentino entre la periferia y el centro de los estudios de cine
Authors: Campo Javier
Published: June 2017

El objetivo de este artículo es relevar los estudios críticos, de divulgación y académicos dedicados a la obra del cineasta argentino Jorge Prelorán, desde los sesenta hasta la actualidad, para analizar la relevancia de su obra en el contexto del cine etnográfico, así como las particularidades de su aproximación y representación de los sujetos populares. A partir de la revisión de dichos estudios, y del análisis que se ha realizado sobre su filmografía, se ponen en cuestión algunas afirmaciones que lo sitúan como un realizador "difícilmente clasificable" o como una “voz solitaria” (Mahieu, 1974). Si bien estas percepciones fueron comunes en los estudios sobre cine realizados en Argentina, en el exterior la obra de Prelorán —adscrita a la corriente del cine etnográfico— ha sido ampliamente estudiada y reconocida.
Fathers' indirect contribution to children's social-emotional development via mothers' psychological parenting environments
Authors: Kim Jihyun , Kim Jung Min
Published: June 2017

We sought to determine whether fathers' play participation exerted an indirect effect on young children's social-emotional development by supporting mothers' psychological parenting environments of depression, parenting stress, and parenting efficacy. We also identified differences
by family income. Mothers responded to all measures. We sampled 72 low-income and 201 higher income Korean mothers with 3- to 5-year-old children. The results showed that fathers in higher income families indirectly contributed to young children's social-emotional development through their
effect on mothers' depression and parenting stress, and fathers in low-income families indirectly contributed through their effect on mothers' depression, parenting stress, and parenting efficacy. Practical implications for improving young children's social-emotional development in each family
income group are discussed.

Auditors and Disclosure Quality: The Case of Major Customer Disclosures
Authors: Legoria Joseph , Reichelt Kenneth J. , Soileau Jared S.
Published: June 2017

Little is known about the relationship between disclosure quality and auditor quality. We measure disclosure quality as the likelihood of a firm fully disclosing the identity of their major customers in the Form 10-K filing. We also measure voluntary disclosure by exempt smaller reporting companies (SRCs) disclosing, and all firms disclosing the identity in the audited notes, or affirming no major customers. We expect that firms are more likely to disclose when they engage higher-quality auditors who have specialized knowledge of 10-K regulations. We hand-collect a sample of more than 26,000 (34,000) major customer disclosures that we use for our main tests (voluntary disclosure tests). We find that firms are more likely to mandatorily disclose their major customers' identity when audited by either an office- or national-level specialist whose clientele consists largely of firms with major customers. We corroborate these results with other higher-quality auditor measures: Big N, second tier, and office size. We also show that SRCs are more likely to voluntarily disclose when they engage a higher-quality auditor. We provide further evidence of an association between voluntary disclosure and a higher-quality auditor by ranking disclosure quality on audited disclosure, nonaudited disclosure, and no disclosure.

The Path to Independence: Board Cohesion, Cognitive Conflict, and Information Sharing
Authors: Du Fei , Xu Kehan
Published: June 2017

Corporate boards in America are dominated currently by outside directors because of the belief that they are more effective at monitoring management. There continues to be debate, however, concerning whether regulators should dictate board composition using input-based attributes of directors such as outside status. Opponents contend that board independence is best established through applying voluntary best practices to board processes. In this research, we study board processes and examine how the group task cohesion that is determined by directors' social similarity affects outside directors' reports that the CEO influences their beliefs, a key element of director independence. We propose that the degree of social similarity (similarity as to backgrounds) between outside directors and other directors is positively related to the degree of commitment directors have toward the board's tasks. We show that this task commitment (cohesion) has a positive effect on directors' efforts to obtain and receive information from the firm and CEO. Additional analyses show that the effect of information sharing on the level of CEO influence of outside directors depends on the presence of cognitive conflict—constructive discussion among directors regarding differing viewpoints—between the outside directors and the inside directors. We test our hypotheses using a survey, which was developed based on in-depth field interviews, and the archival data on directors' attributes as well as firm-level outcomes. Results support the hypotheses, and have implications for regulators and boards.
Revitalizing The Ideological Values Of Pancasila As Antithesis Of Religious Radicalism Community Service In Karangduren Village Kebonarum Of Klaten

The ideology of radical-terrorism is an interesting remark to be understood by the Karangduren Klaten village community as an effort in preventing the entry value that is against the ideology of Pancasila. The supreme divinity value of Pancasila ideology one in the reform era has been challenged by the wave of globalization on information. Socialization on the divinity values aims to stimulate public awareness on the threat of radical ideology of terrorism that potentially grow and develop in the village of Karangduren, Kebonarum, Klaten. This study covers the fields of nationalism and identity with the preaching method and focus of discussion. The Ideology of divinity axiologically and epistemologically comprising of divinity, humanity, unity, democratic and justice values which need to be delivered through specific form of communication which can be adjusted to community’s life in the village of Karangduren.

Rewriting King Lear in a Diasporic Context, Rewriting the Nation: Second Generation and Life Goes On
Authors: García Periago Rosa María
Published: June 2017

Abstract: this article explores two film adaptations of King Lear located in London in a diasporic community: Second Generation (Jon Sen 2003) and Life Goes On (SangeetaDatta 2009). This paper examines the ways in which King Lear has to be modified to suit Non-Resident Indians. Following a diasporic framework, this articlesheds light on the striking parallelisms and connections between both movies via the presence of a mother figure, two nostalgic Lears, the appearance of Muslim charactersand the transformation of an extremely tragic dénouement by a happy ending. The role of the mother is especially significant since it hints at the Indian nation and the long-held association between the mother figure and India in mainstream Hindi cinema. The main hypothesis of this paper is that Second Generation and Life Goes On use Shakespeare’s King Lear, which deals with the division of the kingdom, as a prism through which to approach partition. Both films relocate the action to the UK, more specifically London, since it has one of the largest Indian diasporic communities. Alluding to the colonial legacy of partition and Shakespeare and being made by diasporic filmmakers, they become postcolonial – or rather transnational works. Curiously enough, not only is King Lear rewritten and reinvented, but also Shakespeare, partition, and, ultimately, the nation,although the films offer different – and contradictory – perspectives and alternatives.  Resumen: este artículo analiza dos adaptaciones cinematográficas del Rey Lear que tienen lugar en Londres en una comunidad diaspórica: SecondGeneration(Jon Sen 2003) y LifeGoesOn(SangeetaDatta 2009). El artículo examina las diferentes formas en las que El Rey Lear se tiene que modificar para adaptarse a la diáspora india. Gracias a un marco teórico de la diáspora, el artículo se centra en los paralelismos entre las dos películas a través de la presencia de la madre, dos “reyes” caracterizados por la nostalgia, la aparición de musulmanes y la transformación de un final trágico en uno feliz. El papel de la madre es especialmente relevante, ya que hace alusión a la India y a la asociación entre la figura materna y la India en el cine de Bollywood. La hipótesis principal es queSecondGenerationy LifeGoesOnutilizan El Rey Lear, que trata sobre la división del reino,como un prisma a través del cual aproximarse a la partición en la India. Ambas localizan la acción en Reino Unido, más concretamente en Londres, ya que tiene una de las comunidades diaspóricasindias más extensas. Las películas, al aludir al legado colonial de la partición y de Shakespeare y al ser realizadas por directores diaspóricos, se convierten en trabajos postcoloniales e incluso transnacionales. Lo curioso es que no sólo se reescribe y reinventa Shakespeare a través del Rey Lear, sino también la partición en la India y, en última instancia, la nación, a pesar de que las películas ofrecen perspectivas y alternativas diferentes – e incluso contradictorias.

Published: June 2017

Plant Preservative Mixture™ (PPM), a relatively new broad-spectrum preservative and biocide for use in plant tissue culture, was evaluated as an alternative to the use of conventional antibiotics and fungicides in plant tissue culture. Culture inoculated in MS media supplemented with PPM (1.5 ml/l) was the effective concentration which gave the best values. The top values were recorded for all studied characters using apical buds compared with lateral buds. The combination between apical buds and (1.5 ml/l ) PPM concentration showed the superior values of all studied parameters( 33.25%,19.40%, 14.46%,20.53% and 79.46%)(60.55%,39.80%,20.97%,45.33% and 54.44%) and (31.20%, 20. 06%, 12.33%, 35.13% and 81.06 %) for contamination, %bacterial contamination, % offungi contamination, dead explants% and survival explants% respectively.  Different concentrations of PPM (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 ml/l) were tested using single node and apex explants of watercress (Nasturtium officinale). PPM at (1.5ml/l)  had significant effect on the studied characters; shoots height, shoots number, leaf pairs number, fresh and dry weight which they reaches (4.16, 4.62, 42.00,0.524 and 0.063 g, respectively ). Apex bud explants showed the greatest effect on shoots height shoots number, leaf pairs number, fresh and dry weight and their values were 3.52, 32.02, 3.38, 0.405 and 0.036 g, respectively. The best parameter were recorded on MS media supplemented with PPM at (1.5ml/l) with apex buds explant  (4.55, 5.34, 46.28, 0.570 and 0.085, respectively) for shoots height, shoots  number, leaf pair number, fresh and dry weight. Current study aimed to determine the best concentration of PPM for limiting the contamination of watercress and micro shoot regeneration.
