“The Whole Thing You’re Doing Is White Man’s Ways”: fareWel’s Northern Tour
Authors: Lenze Christine 
Published: June 2023

The emergence of Native performance on Canadian stages in the late twentieth century is determined by some to be a “logical extension” of the practice of First Nations storytelling (Taylor 140). First Nations performances have certainly incorporated culturally specific aspects, and some tribes, like the Kwakiutl of British Columbia, have performed ritual dramas for hundreds of years. In an interview with Hartmut Lutz, however, playwright Daniel David Moses remains hesitant about linking structural categories like “drama” to First Nations performance. As Moses explains, I’m not sure whether it’s ... a natural resistance to codifying something that seems to be in the process of developing. You don’t want to give something a wrong name before it’s really been born.... I think [First Nations writers] have an opportunity here with the influence of an oral aesthetic, to develop things that go beyond those genres, which are categories that are very much a result of a book culture.(163)
Canadian Road Trip: An Oblique State of Mind
Authors: Proehl Geoff 
Published: June 2023

I caught a salmon today. We go home tomorrow and I was the only one to catch a fish on this entire trip to the salmon capital of North America. I grew up in a logging town in northwest Oregon, and my standards for natural beauty are high. I look out my bedroom window and see hills of trees. I walk down the railroad tracks and I am at the river, in it. But as I drove this week with my aunt, uncle and cousin to Washington and then British Columbia, I had to admit that what I saw out the window of the camper was more lush and green than what I had grown up with.
Theatre as a Weapon against Mass Delusion, The Adventures of Ali and Ali and the Axes of Evil
Authors: Kerr Rosalind 
Published: June 2023

About two-thirds of the way into their “divertimento for warlords,” when the two state less refugees Ali and Ali are taken to task for failing to stick to their contract to provide “an uplifting multicultural drama with some songs,” they call upon their embedded critic, a French intellectual, to speak in their defence. The giant face of the dapper, coffee-drinking JeanPaulJacques Beauderrièredada (Guillermo Verdecchia) fills up the screen behind them and pronounces that the tactic of Ali and Ali is to provoke an excess of reality; their hypothesis is that the system itself will commit suicide in response to multiple deadly farts (which in the symbolic of the irreal are pure utterances dependent on no referents).

In December of 2006, an article in Time magazine discussed the shift of control in politics and entertainment from the “few” to the “many” and proclaimed the person of the year to be “You.” Musing about how the “millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy,” Lev Grossman writes, Who are these people? Seriously, who actually sits down after a long day at work and says, I’m not going to watch Lost tonight. I’m going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana? I’m going to mash up 50 Cent’s vocals with Queen’s instrumentais? I’m going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-frites at the new bistro down the street? Who has that time and that energy and that passion? The answer is, you do. And for seizing the reins of the global media, for founding and framing the new digital democracy, for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game, Time‘s Person of the Year for 2006 is you.

From Prestige Project to Simply Shell: The Short History of the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre
Authors: Thompson Francis 
Published: June 2023

The Northern Arts and Cultural Centre, once a monument to pan-Canadian generosity and Yellowknife civic pride, is now living off the proceeds of bingos. “I don’t want to see it go ... I’ll chain myself to the door if I have to do it,” says Heather Ross, a long-time NACC board member, director and actress. And more recently, bingo organizer. Ross’ despondency and determination may be common in Canada’s theatrical community. But NACC’s riches-to-rags story is anything but common. This is not some vulnerable old institution, slipping slowly into financial oblivion. This 313-seat theatre opened in 1984 after unprecedented community mobilization raised $1.3 million in four years.
Colonial Discourse and the National Imaginary
Authors: Mitchell Tony 
Published: June 2023

Like Anglo-Australian popular music, which is often indistinguishable from its English or American counterparts, Anglo-Australian drama tends to have a familiarly white, post-colonial veneer which all too frequently simply covers a neocolonial core. As Stan Anson has stated: the rhetoric of postcolonialism assumes that anticolonialism has either overthrown imperialism or exhausted itself in the attempt. It has done neither. The world we live in is still manifestly colonial, although it might be better to call it neocolonial, in recognition of the fact that the crude annexations of the past have ben superseded by subtler impositions, of which the very notion of postcolonialism is one.

A Deeper Questioning of Assumptions
Authors: Springate Michael 
Published: June 2023

Dramaturgy will certainly continue into the next century. The “job” will carry, as it does today, three distinguishable functions. The first is that of gatekeeper. Someone is needed to read play submissions and generally organize writer-relations, including workshops, commissions, and readings. Byand large the parameters of this function are set by the size and nature of the theatre for which one is working. In spite of the integrity of persons fulfilling these positions, it is frequently a job of artistic compromise and some deception.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article was to study the influence of the type of nervous system on the speed of hitting against the background of fatigue. The study was conducted on the basis of the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture. A total of 33 kickboxing athletes took part in the study, 15 of whom have the first sports category, 17 have second. The type of the nervous system was determined by two tests - the Schulte tables and the tapping test. Punching speed testing was determined by performing 20 consecutive punches without rest. According to the efficiency of working on the Schulte tables, control group I has a tendency to increase the result from table to table, which characterizes the subjects as having a weak nervous system. The graph of control group II reaches a peak on the second table, and then gradually decreases. Thus, control group II can be characterized as athletes with a strong type of nervous system.
The obtained data on the type of nervous system in the groups of subjects are confirmed by means of a tapping test (. Thus, KGI has a downward graph starting with 5.3 hand movements per second during the first five seconds with a gradual decrease until the thirtieth second. KGII has a curved graph of the results of the tapping test with a peak at 10-15 seconds. During the first five seconds, the group average was 4.7 hand movements per second, rising to 5.5 and holding at that level, then decreasing to 4.4 movements per second. According to the results of the study, it was found that athletes with a strong type of nervous system can maintain the speed of hitting for a longer time.
Physical development of students depending on the predominance of autonomic nervous system type

Published: June 2023

All cells and tissues of the human body maintain a connection with each other, and their activities are clearly coordinated. It is difficult to imagine how all the systems of the human body function in an extremely harmonious manner. Even when a person is at rest, the heart pumps blood, directing it throughout the body, the kidneys remove waste products from the body, and gas exchange takes place in the lungs, muscles help maintain a certain position, hold a book, while the brain " busy" reading. And although it is considered that when reading, a person rests, our body is physiologically active. The activity of all body systems becomes much higher when it actively moves. With increasing physical activity, the physiological activity of muscles increases. Active muscles need more nutrients, more oxygen, a higher rate of metabolic processes and more efficient elimination of decay products.
In the presented literature data on the effect of physical exertion on the cardiovascular system and physical development, there are no data on the effect of physical exercises of various directions on the physical condition and cardiohemodynamics of young people studying at universities. In order to solve the problems of the impact of physical exercises on the body of students of higher education, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive study of the morpho-functional state of the cardiovascular system, physical development and working capacity of the students' body during physical exertion of various directions.

Authors: Kononenko Nelli , Bilous Nataliia 
Published: June 2023

Studying in the higher education institutions is characterised by intellectual stress and a decrease in the level of the physical activity in the applicants. Physical activity contributes to health promotion, improvement of the functional state of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems; raising the level of the physical fitness and performance, and ensuring the diverse and the harmonious development of the student youth.
The lack of the physical activity has a negative impact on health, physical development, the physical fitness and the performance in the applicants of the higher education.
The purpose of the study: to provide means and methods for increasing the amount of the physical activity in the applicants of the higher education and to reveal their effectiveness.
Results of the study. The means and methods of increasing the level of motor activity in the applicants of the higher education in the conditions of distance education are proposed and their effectiveness is revealed.
Conclusions. Aerobics, athletics, badminton, table tennis, tennis, and rhythmic gymnastics are among the most effective means of increasing the level of physical activity in distance learning in the applicants of the higher education institutions. The systematic training in these types of the physical activity helps to improve health; improve the functional state of the systems and the analysers, joint mobility and spinal flexibility; improve physical development; increase the level of physical fitness and performance; create favourable conditions for the central nervous system; normalise nervous processes and blood pressure; and adapt to environmental stressors in students.

The Impact and Sliding Wear Performance of Thermal Spray HVAF Thick Carbide Coatings on Steel Substrates
Authors: Waudby R , Suhonen T. , Varis T. , Holmberg K. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study assesses the sliding wear and impact behavior of thick carbide coatings deposited on hot-rolled steel by high-velocity airfuel (HVAF) spraying. Coating samples are evaluated based on scratch, ball-on-disc sliding, normal impact, and compound sliding impact tests and efforts are made to rank materials according to tribological criteria including coating failure mode, friction response, and wear. The approach is intended to provide insights for product designers specifying thermal spray coatings for steel components and structures from a wear performance perspective.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Devices that increase the penetrance of intravesical chemotherapeutics are emerging as alternatives to classical Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) treatment. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of mitomycin C applied with the electromotive drug delivery device (MMC-EMDA) versus BCG in patients with intermediate and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) without carcinoma in situ (CIS). METHODS: Prospective non-randomized study in which 47 patients received MMC-EMDA (40 mg of MMC diluted in 50 mg of distilled water at 20 mA for 30 min. Regimen of 6 weekly and then 6 monthly instillations) and 48 patients received BCG (50 mg of OncoCITE® diluted in 50 ml of normal saline for 60 min. Regimen of 6 weekly instillations and then 3 weekly instillations at months 3, 6 and 12). The primary endpoint was the recurrence-free rate (RFR) at 24 months. Secondary endpoints were time to recurrence and progression-free rate (PFR) at 24 months follow-up. RESULTS: Baseline patient assessment and mean follow-up time were similar in both groups (MMC-EMDA group: 26.4 months; BCG group: 28.4 months ( p = 0.44)). The RFR at 24 months was 80.9% for the MMC-EMDA group and 77.1% for the BCG group ( p = 0.969). The mean time to recurrence was 12.5 months in the MMC-EMDA group and 14 months in the BCG group ( p = 0.681). At 24 months, PFR was 97.9% in the MMC-EMDA group and 93.8% in the BCG group ( p = 0.419). CONCLUSIONS: No differences were found between MMC-EMDA and BCG treatments in patients with high-risk and intermediate-risk NMIBC without CIS.

Tuberculosis is still a threat to public health in Indonesia. Based on WHO, TBC Report 2020, TBC Case in Indonesia in 2019 is estimated at 845,000 cases with the incidence of 312 per 100,000 population, so Indonesia be the second largest TBC cases of the world after India. The family's input approach provides holistic treatment by improving family functions.
The Primary data was obtained through anamnesis (Autoanamnesis), physical examination and home visits to assess the home condition and relation with the family. The secondary data were obtained from the patient's medical record in Hospital. Assessment is based on the holistic diagnostic. The result is presented in the case report. The patient who has a functional degree 1 with tuberculosis has an internal risk factor that does not pay attention to the initial complaints so the complaints increase weight, patient awareness efforts in avoiding risk factors and lack of knowledge of the disease. As for External risk factors are the lack of Family knowledge about the disease and home environment which is so close to the farm. Then do educate the patient and family about drugs that should he consume and eat right, side effect of the drugs and changes in his lifestyle. After the evaluation is compliance in taking medicine and do healthy lifestyle. The complex clinical activities take a long time and cooperation between health family workers. Where officers not only resolve the patient's clinical issues but also seek and provide solutions to problems - the problems in an environment affecting the health of patients and families.

Published: June 2023

Background: The meta-analysis aimed to estimate the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells on lumbar discogenic pain in patients with intervertebral disc degeneration.Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library databases with predetermined search strategy up to 18 September 2022. The clinical studies focusing on evaluating the efficacy and safety of mesenchymal stem cells in patients with intervertebral disc degeneration were identified. The primary outcomes were changes of pain score and Oswestry Disability Index. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies was used for quality assessment. Review Manager was used to conduct the statistical analysis. Pooled risk ratios were calculated based on the random effect model. Heterogeneity, subgroup, and publication bias analyses were also performed.Results: There were 2,392 studies were identified in the initial search, and 9 eligible studies with 245 patients were eventually included in this review. The Visual Analogue Scale score was significantly lower in patients after receiving mesenchymal stem cells therapy (mean difference = 41.62; 95% confidence interval 24.32 to 58.93; Heterogeneity: I2 = 98%; p &lt; 0.01). And the pooled mean difference of Oswestry Disability Index was 22.04 from baseline to final follow-up points (95% confidence interval 8.75 to 35.33; p = 0.001; Heterogeneity: I2 = 98%; p &lt; 0.001). The pooled reoperation proportion was 0.074 (95% confidence interval 0.009 to 0.175; Heterogeneity: I2 = 72%; p &lt; 0.01). There were no serious related adverse events associated with the therapy.Conclusion: The findings of this meta-analysis indicated that mesenchymal stem cells therapy may be effective in relieving pain and improving Oswestry Disability Index significantly in patients with lumbar discogenic pain. Mesenchymal stem cells therapy may also be associated with a lower risk of adverse events and reoperation rates.
