Core Ideas
Optimum seeding rate on elite durum wheat depends on environment.
Seeding rate had a significant positive relationship with grain yield, leaf area index, and carbon isotope discrimination.
Seeding rate should be adjusted for environment and genotype for maximum yield.
Seeding rate can be manipulated to optimize the ability of the crop to capture available resources and therefore increase yield. Seeding rate may vary between regions according to the climate conditions, soil type, sowing time, and other agronomic practices. Insufficient information is available for optimum seeding rate on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) for some production zones, and response to seeding rate is unknown for recently registered durum cultivars in Canada. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of seeding rate (SR) on performance of Canada Western Amber Durum wheat cultivars and study the underlying physiological response to a wide range of SRs. Eight durum wheat cultivars were sown at densities of 163, 217, 272, 326, and 380 seeds m−2 to study the effect of SR on several agronomic and physiological traits. Each experiment was planted as a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications near Swift Current and Regina in 2010 and 2011. High genetic and environmental response to SR was observed between cultivars. The results showed an increase in grain yield as the SR increased. The optimum SR for cultivars grown at Swift Current and Regina was 272 to 326 seeds m−2 and 217 to 272 seeds m−2. Grain yield showed a positive relationship with carbon isotope discrimination (CID) and leaf area index (LAI). In turn, LAI showed a linear increase with SR. Information generated from this study could enable producers to maximize crop grain profitability by optimizing plant density.

Core Ideas
March sowing resulted in higher dry matter, total N accumulation, and seed N content than April sowing.
Seed yield up to 3320 kg ha−1 were obtained with March sowing.
Seed yield was correlated negatively with dry matter translocation to the seeds.
In cooler Mediterranean areas autumn sowing of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is avoided because of the increased frost risk. A 2‐yr field study was conducted to investigate the potential effects of spring sowing date and cultivar on assimilate dynamics (i.e., dry matter and N accumulation, partitioning and translocation) and productivity of Mediterranean chickpea, and to assess possible N losses from plant foliage. Three local cultivars (i.e., Andros, Kassos, and Serifos) and one foreign cultivar (i.e., Zehavit‐27) were evaluated under two sowing dates (i.e., March sowing and April sowing). March sowing resulted in higher dry matter, total N accumulation, and seed N content than April sowing. Seed yield up to 3320 kg ha−1 was obtained with March sowing. April sowing resulted in a yield penalty of 22 to 50 kg ha−1 d−1 of sowing delay compared with March sowing. Seed yield was correlated negatively with dry matter translocation to the seeds and positively with dry matter accumulation during the seed‐filling period. Dry matter and N translocation efficiency reached up to 77 and 96%, respectively. High N accumulation until the beginning of seed growth and low N accumulation thereafter enhanced N translocation to the seeds. However, when early aboveground N was high (>120 kg N ha−1) and the seed demands for N were low (<96 kg N ha−1), N losses were observed, reaching up to 40.4 kg N ha−1. Chickpea has potential as an alternative spring crop in cooler Mediterranean areas, provided that early spring sowing is applied.
Acclimation of 2‐Chlorophenol‐Biodegrading Activated Sludge and Microbial Community Analysis

Published: June 2017

ABSTRACTUsing glucose as cosubstrate, activated sludge that could effectively biodegrade 40 mg/L 2‐chlorophenol was successfully domesticated in sequencing batch reactors. To acclimate the sludge, 2‐chlorophenol was increased stepwise from 0 to 40 mg/L. High‐throughput sequencing revealed that the microbial community richness increased during the first 5 d of acclimation to 5 mg/L 2‐chlorophenol and then decreased after another 20 d as 2‐chlorophenol was increased. The original sludge obtained from a water resource recovery facility had the highest microbial diversity. As the acclimation continued further, community richness and diversity both increased, but they decreased again, significantly, when 2‐chlorophenol reached 40 mg/L. Saccharibacteria_norank, Bacillus, Saprospiraceae_uncultured, and Lactococcus were the dominant bacteria. Bacillus and Pseudomonas were the main known chlorophenol‐degrading bacteria. WCHB1‐60_norank, Tetrasphaera, Comamonadaceae_unclassified, and Haliangium showed poor tolerance to 2‐chlorophenol. Higher bacterial tolerance to chlorophenols does not mean higher degrading capability. The degradation of chlorophenols was not positively correlated with the detected abundance of known 2‐chlorophenol‐degrading bacteria.
Tapping the Potential of Senate-Driven Reform: Proposals to Limit the Powers of the Senate
Authors: Heard Andrew 
Published: June 2017

In the immediate aftermath of the 2014 Senate Reform Reference, there was considerable talk about the limitations that the Supreme Court had put on Senate reform. Some political leaders expressed frustration and declared that we are left with the status quo. But, that view both misunderstands what the Court said and underestimates what can be achieved through non-constitutional means. There is much that can be done simply with the political will to change the Senate situation without resorting to constitutional amendment; senators already have the power to effect some serious reform from within. This paper focuses on an unorthodox suggestion: that substantive reforms might be achieved through changes to the Rules of the Senate governing its legislative process. With some changes to both the legislative and appointment processes, substantial improvements to the Senate are both possible and achievable. The result would be a Senate better able to perform its intended function as a chamber of sober second thought. It would also answer the most serious concerns about an appointed Senate’s role in a modern democratic system.
The Supreme Court's New Labour Trilogy: Momentous Decisions and a Modest Critique
Authors: Neuman Craig 
Published: June 2017

In this paper, with a nod to the expositive force of organizing thoughts in triads, I offer three criticisms of the Supreme Court’s recent work re-shaping what the constitutional protection of freedom of association means in the field of labour relations law: (1) it ignores the reasonably clear intent of the drafters of the Charter; (2) it has been inconsistent and unpredictable, producing destabilizing effects; and, (3) it usurps to the judiciary a role in regulating labour relations that is better left to legislators.
Translation as Craft, as Recovery, as the Life and Afterlife of a Text: Sujit Mukherjee on Translation in India
Authors: Di Giovanni Elena 
Published: June 2017

Sujit Mukherjee passed away in 2003, having been an outstanding intellectual figure in India and beyond. A writer himself, but most of all a translator, Mukherjee contributed greatly to stirring the debate and reflection on translation in India. Although he quite humbly declared, on several occasions, that India never had such a thing as a theory of translation, his books and articles have traced the history of this activity and given shape to a metadiscourse on translation which is far from the abstractions of theories and full of the strength of the enlightened practitioner’s point of view.
Mukherjee’s approach to the observation of translation practices is permeated by his modesty, his brisk simplicity and, above all, his relentless positivity. In his words, translation becomes a dynamic, pervasive and constructive practice, far from the subordinate and derivative essence so often ascribed to it by Western scholars.
This paper brings to the fore the non-theories of Sujit Mukerjee and proceeds by discussing them along a chronological axis. Organized in three sections, the paper first analyses Mukherjee’s viewpoint on translation in India before the British, to then move onto translation and the role of English during and after colonization. The third and final section offers a comparison between Mukherjee’s ideas and reflections and those by three outstanding Western translation scholars.
Sign Language Interpreting in Theatre: Using the Human Body to Create Pictures of the Human Soul
Authors: Richardson Michael 
Published: June 2017

This paper explores theatrical interpreting for Deaf spectators, a specialism that both blurs the separation between translation and interpreting, and replaces these potentials with a paradigm in which the translator's body is central to the production of the target text.
Meaningful written translations of dramatic texts into sign language are not currently possible. For Deaf people to access Shakespeare or Moliere in their own language usually means attending a sign language interpreted performance, a typically disappointing experience that fails to provide accessibility or to fulfil the potential of a dynamically equivalent theatrical translation. I argue that when such interpreting events fail, significant contributory factors are the challenges involved in producing such a target text and the insufficient embodiment of that text.
The second of these factors suggests that the existing conference and community models of interpreting are insufficient in describing theatrical interpreting. I propose that a model drawn from Theatre Studies, namely psychophysical acting, might be more effective for conceptualising theatrical interpreting. I also draw on theories from neurological research into the Mirror Neuron System to suggest that a highly visual and physical approach to performance (be that by actors or interpreters) is more effective in building a strong actor-spectator interaction than a performance in which meaning is conveyed by spoken words.
Arguably this difference in language impact between signed and spoken is irrelevant to hearing audiences attending spoken language plays, but I suggest that for all theatre translators the implications are significant: it is not enough to create a literary translation as the target text; it is also essential to produce a text that suggests physicality. The aim should be the creation of a text which demands full expression through the body, the best picture of the human soul and the fundamental medium of theatre.
Formula and “Fixity” in South Slavic Oral Epics: A defense of South Slavic poetic verse against literary accusations of mechanicalism
Authors: Fan Lai-Tze 
Published: June 2017

As the South Slavic oral epic originated in a primary oral culture – a culture that is unaffected by literacy – and as it is composed through repertorial formulas and themes, it may find itself subject to misunderstanding by literary minds, particularly through accusations of mechanical composition. This paper aims to argue that an idea of “fixity,” with regards to the South Slavic oral epic’s formulas and themes, is flawed when one considers the culture from whence it came. I examine the necessity of formulaic repetition in the South Slavic oral culture of the 1930s-1950s, arguing that, without literacy and the possibility of record making, repetition was the only method through which their history and culture could be preserved.
Drawing from Albert Lord’s study of the South Slavic oral epic, this paper establishes that while still existing in a primary oral culture, South Slavic poets interiorize formulas and themes until they are synonymous with reflexive speech. In order to demonstrate this, this paper explores the way in which a South Slavic boy learns to perform. I examine John Miles Foley’s delineation of the South Slavic decameter, which the South Slavic boy must learn as the foundation of all future lines of verse. I also demonstrate the efficiency of this foundation by studying substitution systems in epic verse; the mastery of substitution results in an instantaneous composition of song that is only possible through the interiorization of its elements.
This paper then considers the term homeostasis, which in the case of this verse, refers to the obsolescence of irrelevant cultural matter. Using a case study, I analyze a singer’s substitution of obsolete themes and formulas with ones of then-contemporary relevance, arguing that the formulas easily adapt to change. The South Slavic oral epic is thus not mechanical, but a naturalized art form.
Pseudo-translation as a Subset of the Literary System: a Case Study
Authors: Mohammadi Dehcheshmeh Maryam 
Published: June 2017

Abstract
Persian literature is replete with pseudo-translations to the extent that if one tried to compile a complete bibliography, it would turn into an unwieldy book. Most Persian pseudo-translations belong to Iranian political literature (Okhovat, 2006). As could be guessed, identifying pseudo-translations is not a simple task as their authors want readers to believe in the ‘translationness’ of these works for various reasons. One of the most famous Iranian pieces of pseudo-translations, whose original writer has recently claimed its authorship, is the famous (in Iran) Letter of Charlie Chaplin to his daughter Geraldine. The present article examines diverse aspects of this text, including its political, historical, cultural, and literary milieu of production, and provides a critical discourse analysis of this text and highlights the original author’s ideological stance as it is embedded in this purported foreign letter. The article concludes by surmising the reasons why this famous work was published as a translation, and how it is, that the original writer has claimed authorship after more than 30 years.
Hedge Fund Voluntary Disclosure

Published: June 2017

ABSTRACT
Using a dataset of 3,234 letters sent by 434 hedge funds to their investors during 1995–2011, we study what motivates hedge fund managers to make voluntary disclosures. Contrary to the hedge fund industry's reputation for opacity, we observe that managers provide their investors with an array of quantitative and qualitative information about fund returns, risk exposures, holdings, benchmarks, performance attribution, and future prospects. We find that the tensions between the agency costs faced by investors and the proprietary costs faced by managers affect fund disclosures. Consistent with managers reducing proprietary costs, better-performing funds disclose less quantitative data about performance and holdings, and consistent with the presence of agency costs, riskier funds disclose less quantitative information about performance and assets under management.

Why *John can’t contribute Mary money. Constructional behavior of contribute verbs
Authors: Rosca Andreea 
Published: June 2017

Abstract: this article examines the conceptual structure of the main constructions in which Levin’s (1993) contribute verbs appear, viz. the ditransitive and the dative constructions, which often alternate. The present paperquestions the reliability of Levin’s semantic criterion for contribute verbs and shows that the integration of these verbs into the dative construction is licensed by several factors, such as the presence of multiple agents, multiple transferred entities and multiple recipients which deprofile the possessive relationship between a unique recipient and an object (e.g. contribute, administer, distribute), and the conceptual prominence of the motion event over the possession relationship between the recipient and the object (e.g. refer, transfer), among others. Resumen: este artículo examina la estructura conceptual de las principales construcciones en las que aparecen los verbos de contribución de Levin (1993), concretamente las construcciones ditransitiva y dativa que alternan a menudo.El presente trabajo cuestiona la fiabilidad del criterio semántico de Levin para los verbos de contribución y demuestra que la subsunción de estos verbos en la construcción dativa se rige por varios factores, como la presencia de múltiples agentes, múltiples entidades transferidas y múltiples recipientes que desenfocan la relación de posesión entre un único recipiente y un objeto (ej. contribuir, administrar, distribuir), y la prominencia conceptual del evento de movimiento sobre la relación de posesión entre el recipiente y el objeto (ej. remitir, transferir), entre otros.

ABSTRACT
A QTL for host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) was identified in a previous study. The SNP WUR10000125 (WUR) is used as a tag SNP for this QTL. The favorable (B) allele at this SNP is in low frequency in commercial populations, possibly because this allele is unfavorably associated with an important trait under nonchallenging conditions and, therefore, may have been selected against. Therefore, objectives of this study were to estimate the effect of WUR on traits under selection in commercial lines under nonchallenging conditions and to estimate the effect of WUR genotype of parents on performance of crossbred progeny in a commercial-like environment. Data were collected on 4 purebred lines: a Landrace dam line (D1), a Large White dam line (D2), a synthetic sire line (S1), and a Pietrain sire line (S2). Traits analyzed included total number born, number stillborn, farrowing survival, lactation survival, litter mortality, daily feed intake (DFI), backfat, average test daily gain (TGR), average lifetime daily gain (LGR), and Topigs Norsvin selection index (TSI) value, indicative of overall economic value. Deregressed EBV were calculated for each trait (except TSI) and analyzed within line. In the S1 line, AB and BB pigs had significantly lower TGR (P = 0.002) and LGR (P = 0.001) than AA pigs but also lower DFI (P = 0.004). Conversely, AB and BB pigs had significantly higher DFI (P &lt; 0.001) and AB pigs had significantly higher TGR (P = 0.03) than AA pigs in the S2 line. The effect of WUR on TSI was not significant for any line (P ≥ 0.15). Analyses of phenotypic records collected on crossbred progeny of S1 sires and D1 × D2 F1 females showed no significant effect of parent WUR genotype on DFI, backfat, TGR, or LGR (P ≥ 0.07). In conclusion, the effect of WUR was nonsignificant for most traits but the magnitude and direction of the effect differed by trait and by line. The favorable allele for host response to PRRS was associated with greater DFI and a tendency for greater TGR in the S2 line, but the opposite direction of effect was detected for the S1 line. Regardless of the effect on individual traits, no significant effect of WUR on TSI was detected for any line. Therefore, selecting for the B allele is expected to result in progeny with increased resistance to PRRS without compromising overall economic value under normal, nonchallenging conditions.
