Introduction
Authors: Weinrib Lorraine , Paradis Patricia
Published: June 2017

This Special Issue of the Forum is a compilation of articles presented at a Symposium held at the University of Toronto in February 2016 on “The State of Canada’s Constitutional Democracy”. The Symposium was organized by Cheryl Milne (Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights) and Professor Lorraine Weinrib (University of Toronto), and they were later joined by Patricia Paradis (Centre for Constitutional Studies, University of Alberta). Its purpose was to examine the extent to which current Canadian governance is complying with modern constitutional principles.It is the organizers’ hope that the publication of these conference proceedings will broaden and deepen our understanding of the reform projects discussed at the “State of Canada’s Constitutional Democracy” Symposium that lie ahead.

The Supreme Court of Canada Long-Gun Registry Decision: The Constitutional Question Behind an Intergovernmental Relations Failure
Authors: Peach Ian
Published: June 2017

In 2012, Parliament repealed the federal law that had established a mandatory long-gun registry. The law to repeal the long-gun registry also provided for the destruction of the data contained therein. Quebec, however, expressed its intention to establish its own gun-control scheme and asked the federal government for its data on long-guns owned by residents of Quebec.  When the federal government refused to turn over the data from the long-gun registry, despite the fact that Quebec government offi cials had access to the data while the long-gun registry was in operation, Quebec challenged the constitutionality of the federal law providing for the destruction of the data and sought an order requiring the federal government to turn over the data to Quebec. Th e federal government’s refusal to participate in an act of intergovernmental cooperation began a three-year round of constitutional litigation that concluded in March of 2015 with a split decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.

Legislative Vehicles and Formalized Charter Review
Authors: Feldman Charlie
Published: June 2017

When and how does the Parliament of Canada examine proposed legislation for its compliance with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? While the Federal Court has observed that — with respect to legislation — “Parliament plays a crucial examination role in identifying inconsistencies with guaranteed rights,” Parliament cannot be said to have adopted formal obligations in this regard.Although parliamentarians consider the constitutionality of proposed legislation through various means, formalized review occurs only with respect to specific classes of legislation and does not mirror how courts review impugned legislation. This article compares and contrasts current parliamentary practices aimed at Charter compliance and explains where gaps exist.

THE PERSPECTIVES OF ABORIGINAL PEOPLES OF CANADA ON THE MONARCHY: REFLECTIONS ON THE OCCASION OF THE QUEEN’S GOLDEN JUBILEE
Authors: Youngblood Henderson James
Published: June 2017

The Constitution of Canada is a prismatic hodgepodge of treaties, royal instructions and proclamations, and UK legislation. The unifying factor is the constitutional monarchy that holds together a topocratic and collegiality federation. Treaties with Aboriginal nations created treaty federalism; subsequent UK legislation created provincial federalism. Both of these imperial documents are more prismatic than systematic. Prismatic thought is reflective of an infinite variety of perspectives of the same core of truth, which is simultaneously solid and shifting. This has been recognized as representing the federation called “the ironic confederation.”
Time for Boldness on Senate Reform, Time for the Trudeau Plan

Published: June 2017

As it currently stands, there are three bold options on the table when it comes to reforming the Canadian Senate: make it an elected body, abolish it, or make it more independent and less partisan. Only the third option, proposed by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, is the realistic option: the other two don’t stand a chance.

Re-Framing the Sharia Arbitration Debate
Authors: Farrow Trevor C.W.
Published: June 2017

The “matter of religious arbitration in . . . Ontario” to which Margaret Atwood and nine others are referring is a vocal, polarized debate – the “[S]haria debate.”2 It has largely been framed by two questions. Should Ontario “[p]rohibit the use of religion in the arbitration of family law disputes”3 to avoid “the ghettoization of members of religious communities as well as human-rights abuses?”4 Or would such a prohibition do a “great disservice to a number of religious groups in Ontario, and nothing to safeguard the interests of Muslim women?”5 Several fundamental rights and interests are engaged by this debate, including religious freedom, gender equality, the rights of children, national and cultural identity, freedom from hatred, the role of the state in family law, and others.
Accessible Information and Constitutional Democracy: Who Counts?
Authors: Raso Jennifer
Published: June 2017

Accessible information is an essential resource for equal, meaningful participation in the public life of a democratic society. Such information is particularly vital for the effective functioning of all three branches of government in our constitutional democracy: the administrative branch, which creates government policy and holds state actors accountable to the public; the legislative branch, which scrutinizes old and creates new legislation; and the judicial branch, which reviews the acts of the legislative and executive branches. For the law-reform processes of each branch to effectively foster the informed creation and critique of public law and policy, we require reliable, accessible data depicting the diversity of individuals who make up the broader Canadian public.Beyond this practical purpose, accessible information plays an expressive role as it constitutes a particular notion of the Canadian public. The data created by national population censuses and assembled in welfare reports has the power to “nominat[e] into existence” certain groups of people and, conversely, to “refus[e] to name” others. Such information not only represents the public, it also creates the public, as it stands in for the public at all levels of government. By communicating who we are as a society and how we are changing, census information and welfare reports shape our understanding of ourselves — our laws, policies, government, and place in the world.

The PHS Case and Federalism-Based Alternatives to Charter Activism
Authors: Newman Dwight
Published: June 2017

In the recent case of Canada (AG) v PHS Community Services (PHS, often called the Insite Decision), the Supreme Court of Canada purported to offer a case-specific decision limited to Vancouver’s Insite injection facility. The decision saw the Court declare that the Federal Minister of Health could not decline to continue an exemption from narcotics provisions for the Insite Clinic, which provided an injection site for narcotics users in Downtown Eastside Vancouver. Despite the Court’s claim to want a case-specific decision, I argue in the present discussion that by basing their decision on section 7 of the Charter, rather than using the alternative federalism argument that was available, the Court adopted a more activist route with more disruptive future legal consequences.

Accessing with Dinosaurs: Protecting Access to Government Information in the Cretaceous Period of Canadian Democracy
Authors: Kazmierski Vincent
Published: June 2017

In many ways, our democratic institutions, processes, and frameworks resemble the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous period...They have ceased to evolve sufficiently and are being left behind in an environment where technological innovations and greater expectations for political consultation, participation, and accountability have combined to present new challenges to the legitimacy, and perhaps the viability, of the status quo. Indeed, without further evolution, one wonders how our democratic dinosaurs will be able to survive cataclysmic events on the horizon, including escalating terrorism events and their aftermath.

LA JUDICIARISATION DE LA POLITIQUE, LES DROITS DES MINORITES ET LE NATIONALISME CANADIEN*
Authors: Cardinal Linda
Published: June 2017

Ce texte propose un commentaire sur les rapports entre le droit et la politique à partir de trois cas de figure : le phénomène de la judiciarisation de la politique, la question des droits des minorités linguistiques, et le nationalisme canadien. Trois thèmes qui méritent un développement à part, mais qu’il faut aussi tenter d’analyser comme des éléments d’un tout car ils sont liés, bien que de façon contradictoire. En effet, si la judiciarisation de la politique a favorisé le développement des droits linguistiques au Canada et la démocratisation de la justice, elle a aussi coïncidé avec l’avènement d’un nationalisme des droits fondé exclusivement sur la référence à des droits individuels pancanadiens, une idéologie qui rend difficile l’accommodement entre les groupes. Dit autrement, nous avons été témoin, au Canada, de l’avènement d’un populisme des droits qui, paradoxalement, a favorisé le rétrécissement de l’espace politique canadien au profit d’un mouvement de réconciliation de la nation avec elle-même heurtant de front l’idée d’une ouverture à l’Autre qu’a rendu possible une certaine tradition canadienne fondée sur le binationalisme. Pour dire les choses encore plus brusquement, obsédé par son unité, le Canada a cherché de plus en plus à fusionner avec lui-même. Il a fondé son identité sur un nationalisme des droits, un nationalisme apparemment civique, sauf que celui-ci a, jusqu’à présent, fait peu de place au débat démocratique, notamment au débat sur les institutions politiques et à l’aménagement de rapports plus justes entre les groupes nationaux et ce, malgré une représentation de soi fondée sur la diversité.
Daniels v Canada: Supreme Court Ends 150 Years of Political Football
Authors: Lambert Keltie
Published: June 2017

On October 8, 2015, after more than 14 years of litigation, the Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments in the Daniels case, which centers around the fundamental question of whether the term “Indians” as used in section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867 includes Métis and Non-status Indians. In seeking various declarations, the Plaintiffs hoped to bring to an end a longstanding jurisdictional dispute between the Provinces and Canada that resulted in Métis and Non-status Indians being treated like “political footballs.”The purpose of this short summary is to provide the reader with background information and to describe the submissions of the Métis Settlements General Council as intervener. It should be noted that the case raises a number of issues not addressed in this paper that may nonetheless be of interest to the constitutional bar regarding the Court’s power to grant declaratory relief, including whether and how to apply the interpretive principles (are progressive and purposive interpretation two sides of the same coin?), along with the ongoing dialogue between Canadian citizens, Parliament, and the Court.

What is Gained in Subtitling: How Film Subtitles Can Expand the Source Text
Authors: Kabara Tom
Published: June 2017

The problem of translation and loss is a cardinal concern in translation studies. Conventional wisdom tells us that translation must necessarily entail loss. However, some translation studies scholars have argued that translation can yield significant originality in the target text. Christiane Nord, for one, argues that literary translators can claim authorial presence by actually causing the source text to “grow” in a way that is quantitative and qualitative. Although Nord’s idea applies mainly to literary translation, it raises questions about how this could apply to translations of other types of creative source texts, such as audio/visual translation. The format of interlingual subtitling between two disparate languages, such as English and Japanese, burdens translation with severe constraints and considerable loss text is taken for granted. But what is lost? Meaning? Nuance? This paper argues that these need not be lost in subtitling. In fact, by applying Nord’s model of source text growth to subtitling, we can see how subtitling produces new value to the source text. Through a close analysis of the Japanese subtitles of the 2007 film, There Will Be Blood, this paper will demonstrate that despite the severe constraints placed on the translation found in film subtitling, subtitles can promote “qualitative growth” by transferring the poetic function of the source text into new configurations in the target text, prompting target text viewers to interpret content in new ways.

(Re)Translating as Re-membering
Authors: Tarif Julie
Published: June 2017

This paper explores how (re)translation – interlingual and intersemiotic – can be perceived as a way of both remembering the literary legacy of other cultures but also as a way of re-membering/re-generating the body of literature(s) of the importing culture. It focuses on what is called “a classic” and anchors its reflexion in polysystem theory and in the metaphorical vision of literary works as an organic living body. To do so, it concentrates on the British literary classic Oliver Twist and its translations and adaptations into French. The article addresses the following questions: What is to be remembered of certain works? Why, how and by whom are those works remembered?
Inter-Semiotic Translation within the Space of the Multimodal Text
Authors: Desjardins Renée
Published: June 2017

Though Jakobson conceptualized inter-semiotic transfer as a valid form of translation between texts some 40 years ago, it remained a relatively marginal area of investigation until recently. Additionally, we may note that information and communication technologies (ICTs) have also markedly modified previously held notions of what constitutes a “text”. Basing my research on these two observations, this paper will draw attention to inter-semiotic translation within the space the newscast, a prime example of an ever-evolving multi-modal text created by newer forms of ICTs. More specifically, the focus lies in how we can posit translational activity in the construction of the newscast (for instance, how the “visual” images translate the “verbal” narration of the newscaster or journalist). This conceptualization of “news-making” will lead us to consider the ways in which cultural stereotypes are created through the “translation” of interacting texts (verbal, visual, aural) on the same interface. To suggest that newscasts, and by extension media, proliferate cultural stereotypes, is by no means novel. However, to consider how inter-semiotic translation plays a role in their creation may be a departure from previous paradigms. In fact, Kress and van Leeuwan state: “This incessant process of ‘translation’, or ‘transcoding’ – ‘transduction’ – between a range of semiotic modes represents […] a better, more adequate understanding of representation and communication (2006:39)”. Furthermore, because cultural stereotyping is often at the root of conflict, this type of investigation becomes, we suggest, all the more worthwhile in understanding how we “translate” difference across borders, semiotic or otherwise.

The Slovak Stories of Timrava and their English Translation
Authors: Hála Peter
Published: June 2017

Božena Slančíková Timrava (1867-1951) is an eminent Slovak writer. Her highly regarded realistic novels dealt with the rise of the modern Slovak nation. The intricate historical circumstances of the early 20th century, and the eventual emergence of the Slovak nation within complex European culture, made Timrava’s effort even more important. Due to the multicultural nature of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Timrava’s work is also meaningful in our trans-national and trans-cultural Global village. Timrava and other Slovak literary women were virtually unknown outside Slovakia until the extensive work done by Professor Norma L. Rudinsky (1928-2012), whose translation of six “Slovak stories by Timrava” was published in1992. However to truly understand and appreciate the importance of Timrava’s work, the English-speaking reader needed cultural and historical context. Rudinsky’s life-long effort culminated in the publication of “Incipient Feminists: Women Writers in theSlovak National Revival,” which was meant as a preamble to the works of Timrava for the English-speaking world. This paper introduces the life and work of Timrava within the intricate historical context of Slovak nation-building. It further outlines the importance of Rudinsky’s work and describes some interesting aspects of her translation. Attempting to present a practical cultural and historical approach to translation, the paper stresses the significance of so called ‘cultural grids’ and identifies the key elements, the ‘historical grids’, as well as author’s and translator’s biography, all within the wider context of the translator’s historical and sociological ‘matrix’ which ultimately determines the success of any translation of realistic historical literature.
The other Side of the Coin of Lexical Borrowing from Arabic into English
Authors: Thawabteh Mohammad Ahmad
Published: June 2017

The present paper investigates Arabic lexical borrowings in terms of the new signifieds accrued in the receptor language (English) drawing on Venuti’s (1998) notions of ‘domestication’ and ‘foreignization’. The paper shows that SL meanings are at loggerheads with those in the receptor language. The paper argues that lexical borrowings are consequence of cultural transfer in intercultural communication situations and they can be a double-edged sword. Whilst the shift from the original meaning(s) via borrowing may be considered a gain for the receptor language, it can do injustice to the source language.

Transatlantic Translations of the Button-down Shirt
Authors: Weiner Nathaniel
Published: June 2017

This article looks at how the button-down shirt has been translated in the American and British contexts. Employing Barthes’ notion of ‘fashion narrative,’ I describe how in the United States, the button-down shirt is closely associated with the Ivy Look, a style that had emerged from the elite Ivy League universities but became mass fashion by the mid-1960s. While the garment remained youthful, continuing to draw on the collegiate fashion narrative, it also spoke to an American national imaginary of affluence, abundance and class mobility. Both the garment and its paratextual meanings circulated through the global fashion system, emerging in a very different context in 1960s Britain. Speaking to British imaginings of America, it remained youthful but was transformed by the particularities of the British class system, becoming closely associated with two of Britain’s working-class youth subcultures: the mods and the skinheads. Emblematic of the subterranean passion for clothing that characterised the culture of young working-class men in Britain during the latter half of the twentieth century, the button-down shirt became a subcultural icon. In turn, the historicisation and commodification of these subcultures has ensured the button-down shirt’s place in the British national imaginary. Comparing publicity materials produced by American and British clothiers, I examine how the garment’s fashion narratives, both British and American, continue to circulate.

Dancing with Myriam: Creating and Staging a New Metaphor for the Process of Translation
Authors: Pratt Paula
Published: June 2017

This article tells the story, and analyzes the development, of a “staged metaphor” for the translation process, from its chance inception over ten years ago, to the more recent revision and staging of the script. In 2005, I was teaching world literature at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco, while also researching the writing of Irish and North African women. I chose to focus on those women writing in Irish, Tachelhit, Arabic, or French, whose work had been translated into English. I was initially inspired by Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill’s poem, “The Language Issue,” which compares the "sending forth" of her writing to a potential reader, to the story of Moses being discovered by Pharoah’s daughter. My ultimate goal was to produce a chamber theatre play, based on the Irish and North African texts, which would dramatize a metaphor for the translation process. This was an outgrowth of my doctoral work, in which I had drawn on oral interpretation theorists, who see the performance of literary texts as an accepted means of doing literary criticism. Accordingly, I also expanded the project to include the observations of translation theorists, and I incorporated these into the creation of the script for a chamber theatre performance. After directing a staging of the script in Morocco in 2007, I realized that I needed to add more choreographed movement, and to incorporate the character of Moses’s and Myriam’s mother into the metaphor. The addition of dance, and the foregrounding of the relationship between Myriam and her mother, draws unapologetically on female relationships. It is my conclusion that the revised metaphor, with the addition of these elements, is validated by Yves Bonnefoy’s and Henri Meschonnic's depictions of “translation as relationship with an author,” and that, the metaphor does indeed “provide . . . fresh insights.”

Authors: Wiesenthal Christine , Siemens Elena
Published: June 2017

This collaboration, featuring poetry by Christine Wiesenthal and photography by Elena Siemens, connects domestic spaces to the social, public and commercial sphere of the street: to relationships, traffic, gossip, and sundry forms of “dirty laundry.” In his essay on “Naples,” Walter Benjamin states: “Porosity is the inexhaustible law of the life of this city, reappearing everywhere” (170). “Buildings and actions,” he explains, “interpenetrate in the courtyards, arcades, and stairways. In everything they preserve the scope to become a theatre of new, unforeseen constellations” (169). He adds: “The stamp of the definitive is avoided” (169). This unique characteristic of Naples, its porosity, also surfaces in the “unforeseen constellations” of Wiesenthal’s The Laundry Cycle, and

Siemens’ images of Tel Aviv.
Interpreters’ Identities: An Exploratory Study of Vietnamese Interpreters in Vietnam
Authors: Le Elisabeth , Nguyen Van Nhan , Ménard Nathan
Published: June 2017

This qualitative exploratory study of Vietnamese interpreters in Vietnam argues that the progressive dispelling of the interpreters’ invisibility myth must be accompanied by an increased importance paid to interpreters’ identities during their training. Indeed, the type(s) and extent of interpreters’ visibility depends on the type of identity(ies) they assume in interpreted-mediated events. The success of these events affects not only interpersonal relations but also the socio-cultural and economic development of nations, especially when developing countries are concerned.
Conflicts of Interest, Culture Jamming and Subversive (S)ignifications: The High Fashion Logo as Locational Hip hop Artic
Authors: Halliday Rebecca
Published: June 2017

In 2012, a fashion line called “Conflict of Interest NYC” (C.O.I.) released a collection of three unisex t-shirts: each one took the brand name and/or logo of a storied fashion house and imposed a set of urban and hip hop references to subvert the brand’s refined, Eurocentric connotations. This article describes the t-shirts’ function as parodies using media studies accounts of culture jamming as political practice; Linda Hutcheon’s formulation of parody as literary method; and Henry Louis Gates’s outline of Signifyin(g) in the black oral vernacular tradition. It further contextualizes the t-shirts within historical tensions between dominant fashion institutions and hip hop culture at the semiotic level of the brand logo. It then reads the t-shirt containing the name BALLINCIAGA (manipulating the Paris fashion house Balenciaga) for its intertextual and historical relations to the expressive forms and urban locations of hip hop culture. Finally, the article examines a photograph of a fashion editor wearing the BALLINCIAGA t-shirt to London Fashion Week, in October 2012, as a moment of resistance but also of fashion re-appropriating the t-shirts’ political content. Still, the t-shirts’ circulation as commodities permits for reflection on the politics of fashion and subcultures within the dominant logic of capitalism.

Effects of corporate social responsibility on consumer credibility perception and attitude toward luxury brands
Authors: Jin Young-Ju , Park Suk-Chul , Yoo Jae-Woong
Published: June 2017

We examined the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on consumer behavior in relation to luxury brands. We adopted a 2 × 3 factorial design to examine 2 product types (rational and emotional) and 3 types of CSR activities (donations, employee volunteering, and nonperformance
of CSR) to examine the effects of the CSR activities of a company manufacturing a luxury brand on consumers' perceptions of that company's credibility and the consumers' brand attitudes. The results showed that after CSR exposure there was no significant difference for the three measures,
regardless of product type or CSR activity. However, we found statistically significant differences in brand attitude and perception of credibility when companies did not engage in CSR activities.
How the perceptual fluency of price discounts and promotional cues affect consumer responses
Authors: Park Kikyoung , Ryu Gangseog , Han Youngjee
Published: June 2017

We investigated the combined effect on consumers of the perceptual fluency of price discounts and the two promotional cues of discount duration and frequency. We proposed that consumers' initial responses to price discounts would be maintained or modified depending on the processing
fluency of discount information. Results from 2 experiments showed that when a promotional cue implied a short discount duration or low discount frequency and the discount information was difficult to process, participants perceived the duration as longer or the frequency as higher, and they
evaluated the product less favorably if the discount information was difficult to process compared to if it was easy to process. On the contrary, when a cue implied a long discount duration or a high discount frequency, participants perceived the duration as shorter or the frequency as lower
and evaluated the product more favorably if the discount information was difficult to process compared to if it was easy to process. We show conditions in which processing disfluency can be beneficial.

Kebudayaan Indonesia yang terkenal dengan sikap hangatnya kepada setiap orang, terlebih khusus dilihat didalam kegiatan publik seperti aktifitas jual-beli di pasar tradisional. Sayangnya, kurangnya pengetahuan untuk mengelola dan menjaga usaha merupakan permasalahan yang umum ditemukan di hampir setiap pasar tradisional di Indonesia. Insting menjual habis meskipun pada harga yang merugikan, diskon yang berlebihan, bonus pembelian yang berebihan merupakan contoh-contoh yang mengakibatkan terjadinya kerugian tanpa sepengetahuan penjual. Implementasi sistem yang dapat mengatasi masalah masalah diatas terlihat mudah, namun menjadi sulit ketika dihadapkan dengan sistem yang mengelola usaha dikarenakan terdapat beberapa faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi sistem tersebut, seperti faktor kebudayaan. Merancang sistem yang dapat memprediksi market berdasarkan behavior dari pembeli dan menangkap informasi tersebut merupakan solusi terbaik, dimana solusi tersebut dapat beradaptasi dengan kebutuhan dari lingkungan pasar tradisional. Penjual diminta untuk meng-input informasi barang mereka yang nantinya digunakan sebagai input untuk proses predictive analytics. Hasilnya kemudian disajikan kepada pengguna sebagai bagian dari keputusan bisnis mereka, dan juga sebagai input knowledge capturing dan knowledge transfer. Kombinasi antara analisis dan knowledge process kemudian menjadi suatu sistem yang dapat di integrasikan, yang mana dapat digunakan sebagai sistem informasi yang beradaptasi dengan lingkungan pasar Indonesia.
The Associations Between Preceptor Team Lead Relationships and Resident Wellness in an Academic Medicine Setting: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Gonzalez Cesar A. , Gentile Natalie E , Angstman Kurt B , Craner Julia R , Bonacci Robert P.
Published: June 2017

Background: Lack of wellness among physicians has been associated with increased risk for physical and mental illness, interpersonal discord, and occupational liability. In academic primary care practices, physician wellness and self-care behaviors have been associated with improved patient outcomes. With the increase in team-based care structures in primary care clinics and residencies there may be opportunities to promote wellness among primary clinicians, particularly among resident physicians who are at increased risk for decreased well being. The primary objective of the study was to test an a priori hypothesis that family medicine residents’ perception of support from preceptor team leads would be associated with wellbeing. A secondary objective of the study was to test a post hoc hypothesis that examined whether the relationship between residents’ perception of support from their preceptor team leads would be associated with residents’ well being, while controlling for self-care behaviors.
Methods: Our study utilized a prospective cross-sectional design with purposive sampling to survey family medicine residents. Data were collected in February 2016. The survey was sent out to 58 family medicine residents across three family medicine residencies at Mayo Clinic. The survey response rate was 55% (n=32); Ten (31.3%) residents reported being in their PGY-1, 11 (34.4%) in PGY-2; and 11 (34.4%) in PGY-3; participants included 19 (59.4%) women and 13 (40.6%) men. The Brief Resident Wellness Profile (BRWP) was utilized to assess family medicine residents’ perceived sense of professional accomplishment and mood in the past week.
Results: In bivariate correlational analyses, increased perception of support from preceptor team leads (r=.40, P<.01) and reporting a male gender (r=.43, P<.01) was associated with increased resident wellness. In exploratory multivariate analysis, results suggested that while controlling for gender, frequency of self-care behaviors, and perceived preceptor team lead support, a one-point change on rating of perceived team leader support is associated with a 1.69 increase in resident wellness score on the BRWP.
Conclusions: Our results provide preliminary evidence to support the relationship between preceptor team lead support and resident wellness in team-based care, above and beyond the impact that self-behaviors have on wellness. Our findings suggest evidence for the subsequent study of the impact of preceptor team lead relationship quality on resident wellness.
Verbal aspect in Serbian children’s language production
Authors: Savic Maja , Popovic Masa , Andjelkovic Darinka
Published: June 2017

Previous studies have shown that an early usage of verbal aspect in children?s spontaneous production is regularly observed in Slavic languages. However, this leads to the question whether the bare presence of aspect in early utterances is firm evidence that a child has acquired it. In order to show that the acquisition of aspect in Serbian is a process that lasts for several years, elicited production was inspected in children that had already achieved an apparent progress in language (3?5 year-olds). The comparisons with adults were made and several indicators of development were observed: a) the distribution of aspectual forms in children?s and adults? language, b) the ability of functional usage of aspect in narrative, and c) the mastery of contrasting aspectual pairs. The findings provided the ground to propose three developmental stages assumed for the acquisition of Serbian aspect, and possible underlying mechanisms of development are discussed.
Auditor Litigation Risk and the Number of Institutional Investors

We investigate whether auditors are sensitive to litigation risk related specifically to having greater numbers of institutional investors that hold the common stock of a given client. Our findings suggest that audit fees are higher when the number of institutional investors holding stock in the company is greater. Additional tests corroborate our inference that the association between audit fees and the number of institutional investors is related to litigation risk. The importance of improving our understanding of auditors' sensitivity to factors that increase litigation exposure is highlighted by the number and magnitude of lawsuits filed against auditors relating to the audits of public clients.
Effort Choices between Group and Individual Tasks in Mixed Incentives
Authors: Tian Yu , Tuttle Brad M. , Leitch Robert A.
Published: June 2017

Mixed individual and group incentives are widely used in practice under the assumption that by incentivizing both, organizations can increase total effort and predictably direct effort. The present paper explores these assumptions under two forms of mixed incentives, one in which incentives are implemented in a simultaneous/independent manner and the other in a sequential/dependent manner. Results suggest that adding individual incentives to group incentives motivates greater total effort, but adding group incentives to individual incentives does not, regardless of the structure or amount of the mixed incentives. We also find that the independent mixed incentives in our setting lead individuals to allocate a greater (less) percentage of total effort to individual (group) tasks than the sequential mixed incentives. Our findings have important implications to incentive systems design by suggesting that organizations need to consider a fit between the incentives and where they would like their employees to allocate effort.

OBJECTIVE

Three tests are recommended for identifying dysglycemia: fasting glucose (FPG), 2-h postload glucose (2h-PG) from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This study explored the prognostic value of these screening tests in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

FPG, 2h-PG, and HbA1c were used to screen 4,004 CAD patients without a history of diabetes (age 18–80 years) for dysglycemia. The prognostic value of these tests was studied after 2 years of follow-up. The primary end point included cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure and a secondary end point of incident diabetes.

RESULTS

Complete information including all three glycemic parameters was available in 3,775 patients (94.3%), of whom 246 (6.5%) experienced the primary end point. Neither FPG nor HbA1c predicted the primary outcome, whereas the 2h-PG, dichotomized as <7.8 vs. ≥7.8 mmol/L, was a significant predictor (hazard ratio 1.38, 95% CI 1.07–1.78; P = 0.01). During follow-up, diabetes developed in 78 of the 2,609 patients (3.0%) without diabetes at baseline. An FPG between 6.1 and 6.9 mmol/L did not predict incident diabetes, whereas HbA1c 5.7–6.5% and 2h-PG 7.8–11.0 mmol/L were both significant independent predictors.

CONCLUSIONS

The 2h-PG, in contrast to FPG and HbA1c, provides significant prognostic information regarding cardiovascular events in patients with CAD. Furthermore, elevated 2h-PG and HbA1c are significant prognostic indicators of an increased risk of incident diabetes.

The article presents a quantitative and qualitative determination of the composition of the plankton zoocenosis reservoirs of the Volga-Akhtuba interfluves. Biological diversity was studied on zootsenotic level using the indices of biodiversity. The comparative characteristic of reservoirs on the above mentioned parameters. Sampling was carried out at the boundary of the conservation Park Volga-Akhtuba interfluves. As the material for this work there were used samples of zooplankton collected in the summer of 2016. Thus, the results of sample analysis detected from 13 up to 19 species of planktonic invertebrates, among which dominated mainly copepod crustaceans ( Eucyclops macruroides ). The dynamics of their abundance and biomass in all the study reservoirs is almost similar, due to the biology of organisms that are dominant in hydrobiocenoses. The calculation of biodiversity indices revealed that the richest were the lakes, where the Margalef index varied from 1.6 to 1.2 units, and the index of Shannon-Weaver, reflecting the complex structure of hydrobiocenosis, had high values (2.97 bits/unit and 2.74 bits/mg). The Simpson index demonstrating dominant position of different species in zooplankton community, was also higher in the lakes. Using selected indicator organisms there were calculated indices of waited average saprobity, according to which water reservoirs of the invironmental park "Volga-Akhtuba interfluves" can be characterized as moderately polluted. i.e., in zooplankton community the leading role belongs to organisms actively participating in the self-cleaning processes of the water reservoir.
THE COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS OF THE BREAM ABRAMIS BRAMA IN THE KAMA AND VOLGA REACHESES OF THE KUIBYSHEV RESERVOIR
Authors: Kuznetsov Vladimir Vyacheslavovich , Kuznetsov Vyacheslav Alekseevich
Published: June 2017

The article consideres the dimensional and age structure, growth and coefficient of fatness of the bream Abramis brama in the Volga and the Kama reaches of the Kuibyshev reservoir in 2011-2014. In the period of bream spawning, according to Fulton, in May 2012 there was carried out accounting of sire species of bream in the reaches of the Kama, in the Volga reaches in May, 2013. However the average sizes of the body length of the bream statistically did not differ, and values of average mass of his body in the Kama reaches were higher. Fish age in the Volga reaches fluctuated between 2+…11+ years old, i.e. in the Kama reaches there were more species of older age. However, comparing age of the fish caught in 2012, one can see that the results in both places were equal, i.e. reproduction level differs very little. Dominating in catches of 2011-2014 were bream species born in 2004, 2005 and 2008. Among producers there were species of 2004-2005 generations. Growth of the bream in a phase of destabilization of an ecosystem of the Kuibyshev reservoir in comparison even with river conditions was slowed down. It can be noted that growth of the bream in a phase of destabilization of an ecosystem of the Kuibyshev reservoir in comparison even with river conditions was slowed down. In the Volga reaches even-aged individuals of the bream grow better, than in the Kama reaches where biomass of fodder benthos is lower. In the Kama reaches average sizes of fatness coefficient on Fulton are higher than in the Volga reaches.

To study the fish population of the Lower Irtysh there were used control catches in the lower Irtysh in the Uvatsky, Tobolsky and Vagaysky regions of the Tyumen oblast. The results of forensic ichthyologic examinations on such species as nelma, starlet and Sibirian sturgeon, were used by the members of Aquatic ecology group of the Tobolsk Complex Scientific Station of the Ural Branch of the RAS. There were investigated representatives of six families (Cyprinidae, Acipenseridae, Esocidae, Percidae, Lotidae, and Coregonidae), in total, 13 species of fish were studied with a total of 969 individuals. The most numerous were peaceful fishes - 825 individuals (representatives of the Cyprinidae family 73.0% and the Acipenseridae family - 12.2% of the total number of fish in the control catch). The proportion of predatory fish species accounted for 144 individuals (representatives of Coregonidae family - 0.2%, Percidae - 8.2%, Esocidae - 5.0% and the only representative of the Lotidae family - burbot, was 1.4% of the total catch). Maximum weight was noted in Siberian sturgeon - 7 880 g, the minimum mass recorded in roach was 41 g. Maximum fishing length among the fish studied was also noted in Siberian sturgeon - 105 cm, the minimum length noted was of dace - 8.9 cm. Presence in catches of such species as pike perch, ruff and burbot, which are sensitive to water pollution, can be considered an indicator of satisfactory water condition in the Lower Irtysh.

The article presents the results of pilot project of the Nile tilapia fingerlings ( Oreochromis niloticus ) breeding for commercial needsin fish farms of the Almaty region, Republic of Kazakhstan. Pilot fingerlings are cultivated from fingerlings grown in the reservoirs supplied with water from the geothermal well. The article provides values of fish-breeding and biological characteristics of the Nile tilapia commercial fingerlings grown in monocultural and polycultural ponds together with two-year-old species of grass carp and pike-perch. There has been given analysis of economic efficiency of the Nile tilapia commercial fingerlings growing in mono- and polycultural ponds; according to the analysis, the species grown in polyculture were found most cost effective. The survival rate of commercial fingerlings in ponds from seeding material (fingerlings grown in reservoirs with water supplied from the geothermal well) made 97-98%, fish capacity of the Nile tilapia commercial fingerlings in monocultural ponds - 15.4 dt/ha, in polycultural ponds - 12.3 dt/ha; cost effectiveness of tilapia growing - 8.8 and 21.3, correspondingly. As for the type of production, breeding commercial tilapia fingerlings is considered resource-intensive; the highest proportion in the cost price make artificial fodder (49.55%).
