« We Can’t Find a Basis for Unity but We Feel We Should »
Authors: Labelle Sandrine 
Published: June 2024

Organisées au printemps 1971 pour dénoncer l’intervention américaine au Vietnam, les conférences indochinoises constituent l’une des plus importantes tentatives de coalitions féministes de l’époque. L’événement incarne le projet de bâtir une sororité globale. Bien qu’abondamment critiqué dans l’historiographie, cet idéal est rarement analysé dans toute son ambiguïté : cet article propose donc d’historiciser la sororité et de mettre en lumière la complexité de ses usages politiques. Tout en reconnaissant l’importance des conflits entourant ce projet, nous souhaitons justement comprendre pourquoi, malgré tout, celui-ci s’impose comme cadre de référence partagé par une si grande diversité de militantes au tournant des années 1970.
Cette relecture des conférences indochinoises permet de proposer une définition plus souple de la sororité globale : les discours sur la question reflètent les tiraillements d’un mouvement mû par l’urgence d’articuler les différentes subjectivités des femmes pour organiser une opposition massive et efficace à la guerre du Vietnam. La sororité sert ainsi de cadre de référence fédérateur suffisamment malléable pour permettre à diverses conceptions du féminisme de coexister et de s’entrechoquer. Elle permet ainsi de baliser un terrain à partir duquel une solidarité féministe pluraliste et débattue peut se développer.
The National Federation of Labor Youth and the Candy Bar Kids
Authors: Guard Julie 
Published: June 2024

Thousands of children and youth across the country took to the streets for two weeks in spring 1947 to protest a three-cent increase in the price of chocolate bars. The protest initially generated enthusiastic press coverage and had widespread popular support, but when the National Federation of Labor Youth (nfly), the Communist Party’s youth organization, announced its support, anti-communists in the press and the community red-baited the protesters. The campaign quickly lost momentum, which anti-communists attributed to the presence of Communists but was more likely due to their own red-baiting attacks in the press. Some of these protests were spontaneous reactions to a 40 per cent increase in the price of candy bars, while others were led or inspired by nfly. Either way, the countrywide mobilization of thousands of children and youth marks a turning point in the history of Canada’s left. Erupting in tandem with a nationwide strike of industrial workers and protests of activist consumers demanding greater economic security and a more responsive state, the children’s chocolate bar protest provides a window on this critical moment in the class struggle. The attacks on this popular protest at the moment that the long run of community-based militancy was about to be demonized, delegitimated, and silenced by red-baiting marks a significant milestone in Canada’s Cold War. In addition to adding the youngsters’ challenge to capital and the state to the history of the popular left, the event contributes to the growing literature on children and youth engaged in political protest, while their creative protest strategies offer a youthful dimension to the study of performance activism.
Was Shaw a Victorian? We Need to Ask Another Question
Authors: Reynolds Jean 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Shaw scholars have long hesitated to label Shaw a Victorian writer. Although almost half of his life overlapped Queen Victoria’s reign, Shaw’s challenges to nineteenth-century morals and mores tend to mark him as an outlier. This article advocates a fresh approach: perhaps we have been taking the “Victorian” question too literally. Postmodern critics have long urged us to look for diverse and contradictory elements in literary works that seem to be staid and classical. In this article, the author looks for commonalities between Shaw’s Getting Married and three nineteenth-century novels (Eight Cousins, Great Expectations, and Jane Eyre). Do theatrical strategies and fictional writing techniques ever change places? Do the characters in Victorian novels ever explore Shavian ideas? And can we use those commonalities to rethink some of our assumptions about the Victorian era?
Subverting the Melodramatic in The Devil’s Disciple
Authors: Armstrong James 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Bernard Shaw’s The Devil’s Disciple utilizes the tropes of Victorian melodrama to set up a comedic plot in which a married woman is tempted to commit adultery, leaving her respectable husband for the seemingly satanic Dick Dudgeon. The play has echoes of the first play Shaw ever wrote about as a critic for the Saturday Review, Sydney Grundy’s Slaves of the Ring. While Grundy’s play melodramatically questions the legitimacy of marriages arranged for reasons other than love, Shaw’s comically subverts marriage itself, implying that Dudgeon could be the heroine’s true husband, while her legal marriage might be a lie. Identity becomes destabilized, as one person transforms into another’s role as easily as exchanging coats. This opens up a new world of possibilities that Shaw imagines for individuals freed from the tyranny of convention.
Water Supply and the Hygiene of the Poorest in G. B. Shaw’s Pygmalion
Authors: Sakai Taeko 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
In Pygmalion, Shaw describes Eliza as extremely dirty. This article examines Shaw’s views on hygiene for the poorest in Pygmalion, those who were increasingly marginalized in modernizing London in the early 1910s. First, the article examines improvements in London in the first decades of the 1900s. Then, it explores the water schemes of two organizations: the London County Council in the 1890s and the Metropolitan Water Board in the 1900s up to the 1910s. The LCC’s schemes were deeply entangled with the Fabian Society, of which Shaw was a lifelong member. Examining the LCC’s proposals for water municipalization, this article argues that Shaw imbued Pygmalion with social criticism. With his descriptions of the short supply of water in Eliza’s lodgings, which resulted in her unhygienic body and clothing, Shaw ironically dramatized the problematic boundaries of class and gender identity in a social order commonly regarded as natural and even genuine.
The Role of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Relations with Muslims from 1920 to 2020
Authors: Prascevic A. 
Published: June 2024

Relations between Orthodox and Muslims in the Western Balkans often become a world-class topic due to the interest of international factors actively involved in this process. The Serbian Orthodox Church is a key factor in the development of interfaith dialogue, to which it has made a significant contribution through its primates, bishops and priests. Her role came to the fore in the post-war years, when, despite great sacrifices among Orthodox believers, she called for interfaith peace and coexistence, thereby contributing to the stability of the Western Balkans. In historical retrospect, the article examines the relations of peoples and representatives of different religions in one common state in political circumstances. The facts presented in the article allow us to draw conclusions about the level of interfaith dialogue and the contribution of representatives of various faiths to interfaith reconciliation. The article is an experience of a comprehensive scientific study of interreligious relations between Orthodox and Muslims in Serbia: when writing it, the researcher turned to various sources: Christian and Muslim religious and apologetic literature, history, sociology, journalism, etc., aiming at an impartial presentation of the most accurate and diverse information on this topic.
Central Asia: the Problem of Water Use in the Situation of the Construction of the Afghan Kush-Tepa Canal
Authors: Mustafabeyli A. M. 
Published: June 2024

The scarcity of water resources, the lack of equitable access of people to clean water and sanitation services, the insufficiency of technical and financial measures to create advanced systems for the use and conservation of water resources are global problems, but they cause the greatest damage to the states of the Global South, including Central Asia. Problems associated with water shortages in this region will worsen if the Kush-Tepa canal, which is being built in Afghanistan, is uncontrolled.The states of the region are committed to negotiations with the Taliban government in order to agree on cooperation in the field of water use, they are ready to help in the construction of the canal, associated irrigation systems and help in their technical equipment.The Afghan side, accepting verbally the initiatives of its Central Asian partners, insists on its right to use the canal at its own discretion and to the extent that meets its interests. At the same time, the Taliban authorities, not yet recognized by the international community, are trying not to aggravate relations with their neighbors with whom they carry out trade and economic cooperation. The Central Asian countries are making it clear that interaction with the Afghans can further develop if the parties take into account mutual interests. External actors behave differently. Russia offers its services in solving problems related to the operation of the Kush-Tepa Canal. The Americans are providing financial assistance to speed up the construction of the canal.

Published: June 2024

There is an increasing concern on how to meet the needs of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners with visual impairments. Existing literature has explored how visually-impaired EFL learners participate in learning activities within the formal classroom. However, there is a lack of research examining their out-of-class language learning (OCLL) activities. Therefore, anchored on Benson's (2011) concept of OCLL, a qualitative case study was conducted to investigate the OCLL behaviors of a proficient visually impaired EFL learner. Through personal interviews and journal writings, the study identified three primary stages of OCLL activities that the participant went through: the initial exposure to English, the early production of English, and the development of communication skills. The study revealed that the participant transitioned from passive to active learning by effectively exploring the locus of control and combining a physical and online learning environment. Additionally, the social dimension, encompassing peer interaction and support, helped the participant in optimizing their learning outcomes.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to investigate Omani students’ familiarity with the IELTS-based reading exam’s time limit, format, and reading strategies. It also aims to explore the extent to which Omani students adopt independent learning strategies and the challenges they face while taking the IELTS-based reading exams. Omani students need help with their reading skills, as is shown in their below-average scores in IELTS or IELTS-based reading exams conducted by the British Council and the University of Technology and Applied Sciences (UTAS-Ibra). Hence, this study seeks to answer the research questions of whether Omani students studying at level four are familiar with the IELTS-based reading exam’s time limit, format, and reading strategies, and adopt independent learning strategies. The study employed a qualitative research method, and data was collected from eight students (N=8) studying at level four in the preparatory studies center of UTAS-Ibra. This study is significant because it has implications for the stakeholders. The study results show that participants generally possessed a positive comprehension of the time constraints and overall structure of the Level 4 IELTS-based reading exam. Nevertheless, a notable distinction emerged between high and moderate achievers in utilizing reading strategies, proficiency in comprehending complex vocabularies, and sustained engagement in independent learning. To address the challenges high and moderate achievers face, the study suggests implementing specific interventions tailored to their needs.

Published: June 2024

Background:Comorbidity with type 2 diabetes (T2D) results in worsening of cancer-specific and overall prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The treatment of CRC per se may be diabetogenic. We assessed the impact of different types of surgical cancer resections and oncological treatment on risk of T2D development in CRC patients.Methods:We developed a population-based cohort study including all Danish CRC patients, who had undergone CRC surgery between 2001 and 2018. Using nationwide register data, we identified and followed patients from date of surgery and until new onset of T2D, death, or end of follow-up.Results:In total, 46,373 CRC patients were included and divided into six groups according to type of surgical resection: 10,566 Right-No-Chemo (23%), 4645 Right-Chemo (10%), 10,151 Left-No-Chemo (22%), 5257 Left-Chemo (11%), 9618 Rectal-No-Chemo (21%), and 6136 Rectal-Chemo (13%). During 245,466 person-years of follow-up, 2556 patients developed T2D. The incidence rate (IR) of T2D was highest in the Left-Chemo group 11.3 (95% CI: 10.4–12.2) per 1000 person-years and lowest in the Rectal-No-Chemo group 9.6 (95% CI: 8.8–10.4). Between-group unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) of developing T2D was similar and non-significant. In the adjusted analysis, Rectal-No-Chemo was associated with lower T2D risk (HR 0.86 [95% CI 0.75–0.98]) compared to Right-No-Chemo.For all six groups, an increased level of body mass index (BMI) resulted in a nearly twofold increased risk of developing T2D.Conclusions:This study suggests that postoperative T2D screening should be prioritised in CRC survivors with overweight/obesity regardless of type of CRC treatment applied.Funding:The Novo Nordisk Foundation (NNF17SA0031406); TrygFonden (101390; 20045; 125132).
The role of attention bias malleability in experiencing pain and associated disability
Authors: Mac Goris Justine L. , Todd Jemma , Clarke Patrick J.F. , Hughes Alicia M. , Vögele Claus , Van Ryckeghem Dimitri M.L. 
Published: June 2024

Background
Attentional processing of pain has been theorized to play a key role in the severity of pain and associated disability. In particular attentional bias towards pain information, resulting in poor pain outcomes, has been extensively researched. Recently, the idea was put forward that attention bias malleability (AM), i.e., the readiness to acquire an attentional bias irrespective of its direction, may be key in predicting poor pain outcomes. We tested this hypothesis in two studies.

Methods
In Study 1, 55 healthy participants completed an AM paradigm, followed by an experimental heat pain paradigm probing pain experience and pain-related task interference. In Study 2, 71 people with chronic pain completed an AM paradigm and questionnaires probing pain experience and associated disability.

Results
In Study 1, including healthy participants, no relationship was found between AM indices and experimental pain outcomes. In Study 2, including chronic pain patients, results indicated that higher levels of overall AM were related to higher levels of pain experience and disability.

Conclusion
This study partially supports the hypotheses that the degree to which individuals can adapt their attentional preference in line with changing environmental conditions is associated with poor pain outcomes. However, future research is needed to clarify inconsistent findings between healthy volunteers and chronic pain patients as well as to determine the causal status of AM in poor pain outcomes.
Effect of oral tryptamines on the gut microbiome of rats—a preliminary study
Authors: Xu Mengyang , Kiss Andor J. , Jones J. Andrew , McMurray Matthew S. , Shi Haifei 
Published: June 2024

Background
Psilocybin and related tryptamines have come into the spotlight in recent years as potential therapeutics for depression. Research on the mechanisms of these effects has historically focused on the direct effects of these drugs on neural processes. However, in addition to such neural effects, alterations in peripheral physiology may also contribute to their therapeutic effects. In particular, substantial support exists for a gut microbiome-mediated pathway for the antidepressant efficacy of other drug classes, but no prior studies have determined the effects of tryptamines on microbiota.

Methods
To address this gap, in this preliminary study, male Long Evans rats were treated with varying dosages of oral psilocybin (0.2 or 2 mg/kg), norbaeocystin (0.25 or 2.52 mg/kg), or vehicle and their fecal samples were collected 1 week and 3 weeks after exposure for microbiome analysis using integrated 16S ribosomal DNA sequencing to determine gut microbiome composition.

Results
We found that although treatment with neither psilocybin nor norbaeocystin significantly affected overall microbiome diversity, it did cause significant dose- and time-dependent changes in bacterial abundance at the phylum level, including increases in Verrucomicrobia and Actinobacteria, and decreases in Proteobacteria.

Conclusion and Implications
These preliminary findings support the idea that psilocybin and other tryptamines may act on the gut microbiome in a dose- and time-dependent manner, potentially identifying a novel peripheral mechanism for their antidepressant activity. The results from this preliminary study also suggest that norbaeocystin may warrant further investigation as a potential antidepressant, given the similarity of its effects to psilocybin.
