description: This newspaper article outlines the foundation of the Red Cross in the country town of Camden, NSW, at the outbreak of World War One in August 1914. The new organisation attracted conservative women who wanted to exercise their agency and support the war effort through sewing, knitting, cooking and spinning for God, the King, and the Country. The Red Cross allowed these women to create a female space where men were not welcome and where they undertook patriotic housekeeping that supported the national war effort. These efforts were led by Edwardian women who occupied positions of power in local social and personal kinship networks. These women were intelligent, wealthy and powerful, and exercised their authority across transnational networks at a local, provincial and imperial level - Camden, Sydney, Melbourne and London - and were never challenged at any level.

description: Timing of spring sea-ice retreat shapes the southeast Bering Sea food web. We compared summer seabird densities and average bathymetry depth-distributions between years with early (typically warm) and late (typically cold) ice-retreat. Averaged over all seabird species, densities in early-ice-retreat-years were 10.1% (95%CI: 1.1–47.9%) of that in late-ice-retreat-years. In early-ice-retreat-years, surface-foraging species had increased numbers over the middle shelf (50–150 m) and reduced numbers over the shelf slope (200–500 m). Pursuit-diving seabirds showed a less clear trend. Euphausiids and the copepod Calanus marshallae/glacialis were 2.4 and 18.1 times less abundant in early-ice-retreat-years, respectively, whereas age-0 walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus near-surface densities were 51× higher in early-ice-retreat-years. Our results suggest a mechanistic understanding of how present and future changes in sea-ice-retreat timing may affect top predators like seabirds in the southeastern Bering Sea.

The 2014 Israel-Gaza War and the Role of Translation  in The Re-narration of Palestinians by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW)
Creators: name: Ateeri, Asil
name: Ateeri, Asil
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024

description: This research investigates the translation project of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), an Israeli advocacy group. It examines how PMW used translation in the context of the 2014 Israel-Gaza War to narrate Palestinians as anti-Semites and Islamist terrorists. This paper analyses both the textual and paratextual framing devices that PMW used in its translation of Palestinian texts to build these negative narratives about the people of Palestine and their leaders. To conduct the analysis, this research benefits from narrative theory and the notion of framing. It reveals that PMW weaved these narratives about Palestinians by selectively appropriating texts, decontextualising them, and emplotting them in a PMW predetermined narrative. Addition and omission of textual material were also broadly used by PMW to frame readers’ interpretation of the translated material. Titles of PMW’s publications, its introductions, and executive summaries were used to foreground its narratives.

description: Cette recherche dont la genèse s’est développée dans le cadre d’un Groupe Intercantonal de Recherche Collaborative en Éducation Précoce Spécialisée (GRICEPS) a pour but d’identifier les ajustements présents au sein de quatre dyades, composées d’une pédagogue en éducation précoce spécialisée (EPS) et de parents ayant un enfant à besoins éducatifs particuliers. Les pédagogues en EPS, qui ont participé à cette étude de cas multiples, exercent dans les cantons de Genève, Fribourg et Valais et sont mandatées par un Service éducatif itinérant pour travailler à domicile. Les deux types de données nécessaires à ce travail ont été recueillis en deux temps. Pour le premier type de données récoltées, des enregistrements audiovisuels ciblant les comportements des parents et des pédagogues ont été effectués, lors des séances à domicile. Sur la base de ces enregistrements, une première analyse de données a donné lieu à une sélection d’extraits par les chercheuses visant à mettre en évidence des ajustements entre pédagogue et parents et inversément. Cette sélection a contribué à la préparation d’entretiens d’auto-confrontation simple permettant de confronter des ajustements ciblés par les chercheuses auprès de chaque participant à cette recherche. Pour le deuxième type de données récoltées, il a été question de recueillir les propos des participants justifiant les comportements mis en lumière, par le biais d’entretiens d’autoconfrontation simple menés auprès de chaque participant. En effet, le deuxième type de données récoltées a confirmé ou apporté un éclairage différent, voire complémentaire aux extraits sélectionnés par les chercheuses. À travers leurs réponses, les participants ont mis en exergue des ajustements qui ont été répertoriés dans des catégories d’ajustement et des sous-catégories d’ajustement. Les ajustements identifiés ont permis d’enrichir, voire de compléter, à travers une approche scientifique, des catégories préalablement identifiées non seulement par des auteurs, mais aussi par les membres du GRICEPS. Cette recherche a également contribué à la mise en évidence du sens donné à ces différents ajustements à travers les « logiques d’arrière-plan » mentionnées par les particpants.
Anti-Black Racism, British Orientalism, and the Ottoman Empire: Rereading The Turkish Embassy Letters
Creators: name: Camoglu, Arif
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024

description: This essay reads Mary Wortley Montagu’s The Turkish Embassy Letters (1763) as an entry point for an investigation of the entwinement between the British anti-Black racial consciousness and orientalist rhetoric concerning the Ottoman Empire. Montagu’s racially marked depictions of women in Ottoman lands not only reveal the limits of her capacity to identify and sympathize with the oriental other, but also prompt a wider scrutiny of the anti-Black racial rhetoric that percolates through eighteenth-century British orientalist narratives about the Ottoman Empire.

description: The phenology, floral biology and pollination ecology of Salvia arborescens Urb. & Ekman (Lamiaceae) are reported, based on field and garden observations. The flowers of S. arborescens are white, fragrant and rich in nectar. Anthesis begins in the late afternoon, and flowers wilt by late morning of the following day. Floral features fit the moth pollination syndrome. S. arborescens flowers are visited by a variety of nocturnal moths in the wild, including Celiptera levinum (Lepidoptera: Noctuoidea: Erebidae), which was observed carrying pollen of this Salvia. This is the first report of a night-blooming, moth-pollinated Salvia. Hummingbirds, butterflies and beetles may play a role as secondary pollinators.

All six ligands have two kinds of nonequivalent chelating sites: one involving the 6-phenyl substituted 2,2′-bipyridine moiety, and the other involving the 4,5-diazafluorene moiety. All six Ru(II) complexes have metal-to-ligand charge transfer absorptions around 447 nm and one Ru(II)-centered oxidation around 1.35 V versus SCE in CH3CN solution at room temperature. These complexes are non-emissive in CH3CN solution at room temperature. The emission intensities of [(bpy)2Ru(L1)]2+ and [(bpy)2Ru(L2)]2+ are stronger than that of [(bpy)2Ru(L3–6)]2+ in EtOH-MeOH (4 : 1, v/v) glassy matrix at 77 K.

description: L’éducation inclusive en petite enfance est perçue positivement selon la voix des adultes, c’està-dire des professionnels, des politiques et même des parents. Afin d’avoir une vision plus globale de la pertinence de ces structures intégratives en petite enfance, nous avons donné la voix aux principaux concernés, c’est-à-dire deux enfants qui fréquentent un jardin d’enfants intégratif dans le canton de Fribourg. Les objectifs de cette recherche étaient de comprendre comment les enfants interagissent entre eux et comment ils perçoivent leur quotidien et leur environnement dans ce contexte. Les résultats montrent que les interactions sociales entre les enfants sont influencées par plusieurs facteurs : la présence d’espaces différenciés et d’espace vide, la disponibilité du matériel et du matériel en double, les caractéristiques des enfants (leur niveau de développement et leurs intérêts) ainsi que la présence de l’adulte. Concernant leur perception de la structure, ils ont une vision globale positive. Ils vivent leur contexte d'intégration à travers les personnes présentes dans ces contextes, les éducatrices et les enfants, et les expériences concrètes qu’ils font. De plus, les enfants ont conscience des différents espaces qui constituent le jardin d’enfants. Les résultats montrent aussi que ces deux enfants n’ont montré aucun pointage de la différence. Ils utilisent le terme « bébé » pour caractériser les objets qu’ils n’utilisent pas eux-mêmes (comme les couches ou les poussettes). Ce terme implique autant les enfants à BEP que les enfants plus jeunes, c’est-à-dire les enfants avec un autre niveau développemental. Cette recherche a mis en évidence l’importance de l’aménagement de l’environnement des jardins d’enfants pour favoriser les interactions entre enfants. Nous avons pris conscience que les enfants n’ont pas la même perception du contexte intégratif que l’adulte car ils le vivent de manière positive et ils ne pointent pas la différence. Nous notons également l’importance de prendre en compte le point de vue des enfants sur les différents aspects qui constituent leur quotidien.

description: The visual images in Dictee are famously captionless. They resist straightforward explanation. In writing image descriptions of the images in Dictee, I have tried to preserve the "captionlessness" of the original. The point here is not to explain the pictures—an image description is not identical to a caption—but to make Dictee more accessible to readers who are blind and visually impaired. I realize, of course, that in trying to make Dictee's captionless images more "legible," I have inevitably "mistranslated" Dictee as it was originally designed to be experienced. Its captionlessness is lost in translation despite my efforts to preserve it.

By sharing these image descriptions, then, I hope not only to make Dictee more accessible to readers who are blind and vision impaired but also to encourage more dialogue about the art and the practice of describing images and reading image descriptions. My image descriptions are far from perfect, and I invite others to improve upon them.

description: The 21st Century Philosophical-Worldview Dilemma: Symbolic Knowledge vs Knowledge by Quantification!. Why is this important? As Irish poet theologian John O'Donohue, as well as Buddha and most other greats, observe: "The way you look at things is the most powerful force in shaping your life!" In that philosophy presents a "model" for "ways of thinking" - that makes this question very important. In philosophy, there is an existing dilemma between Kant's symbolic knowledge which emphasizes the role of symbolism in human consciousness vs the materialist fixation with quantifiable data – with knowledge as quantifiable data. The Irony of the situation is that Kant, Jung, Nietzsche, Ortega Gasset, Heidegger, Kierkegaard and the bulk of western philosophy state that symbols, as well as metaphors, are vital for both understanding and knowledge - but that symbolism - human consciousness - is to a very large extent outside the realm of cognitive processes and rational analysis. In effect, symbolism and quantification are mutually exclusive principles. Kenneth Gergen has a hybrid solution in his maxim: "Proper knowledge maps or mirrors the actualities of the real world." Iain McGilChrist properly identifies materialist ideology as a mode of thought: Iain McGilChrist states: "An increasingly mechanistic, fragmented, decontextualised world… has come about, reflecting, I believe, the unopposed action of a dysfunctional left hemisphere." The view of McGilChrist of the materialist mode of thought dovetails into Christina Maimone's assessment of Mannheim's Paradox that social sciences are a mode of thought - ideology which excludes evidence and facts that don't fit that mindset.

description: Three new Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(HL1)(pyridine)(H2O)](ClO4)2·2MeOH (1), [Cu2(HL1)2(NO3)2](NO3)2·3H2O (2) and [Cu(HL2)(NO3)2]·MeCN (3), have been synthesized from two Schiff base ligands [HL1 = 1-phenyl-3-((2-(piperazin-4-yl)ethyl)imino)but-1-en-1-ol and HL2 = 4-((2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)imino)pent-2-en-2-ol] using the chair conformer of a flexible piperazinyl moiety. Structural analysis reveals that 1 and 3 are monomeric Cu(II) complexes consisting of five- and six-coordinate Cu(II), respectively, whereas 2 is a dinuclear Cu(II) complex consisting of two different Cu(II) centers, one square planar with the other distorted octahedral. Screening tests were conducted to quantify the binding of 1–3 towards DNA and BSA as well as the DNA cleavage activity of these complexes using gel electrophoresis. Enzyme kinetic studies were also performed for the complexes mimicking catecholase-like activities. Antibacterial activities of these complexes were also examined towards Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The results reflect that 2 is more active than the monomeric complexes, which is further corroborated by density functional theory study.
The 21st Century Philosophical-Worldview Dilemma: Symbolic Knowledge vs Knowledge by Quantification: Existential Exile, Objective Uncertainty, Kant’s Symbolic Knowledge, Tolstoy & Steven Burr’s “Finite Transcendence”

description: The 21st Century Philosophical-Worldview Dilemma: Symbolic Knowledge vs Knowledge by Quantification!. Why is this important? As Irish poet theologian John O’Donohue, as well as Buddha and most other greats, observe: “The way you look at things is the most powerful force in shaping your life!” In that philosophy presents a “model” for “ways of thinking” - that makes this question very important. In philosophy, there is an existing dilemma between Kant’s symbolic knowledge which emphasizes the role of symbolism in human consciousness vs the materialist fixation with quantifiable data – with knowledge as quantifiable data. The Irony of the situation is that Kant, Jung, Nietzsche, Ortega Gasset, Heidegger, Kierkegaard and the bulk of western philosophy state that symbols, as well as metaphors, are vital for both understanding and knowledge - but that symbolism - human consciousness - is to a very large extent outside the realm of cognitive processes and rational analysis. In effect, symbolism and quantification are mutually exclusive principles. Kenneth Gergen has a hybrid solution in his maxim: "Proper knowledge maps or mirrors the actualities of the real world." Iain McGilChrist properly identifies materialist ideology as a mode of thought: Iain McGilChrist states: “An increasingly mechanistic, fragmented, decontextualised world… has come about, reflecting, I believe, the unopposed action of a dysfunctional left hemisphere.” The view of McGilChrist of the materialist mode of thought dovetails into Christina Maimone’s assessment of Mannheim’s Paradox that social sciences are a mode of thought - ideology which excludes evidence and facts that don’t fit that mindset.

Exploring the dreams, myths and realities of Open Access: a study of perspectives from three UK universities
Creators: name: Wong, Leah

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Open access
subject: Library science
subject: Scholarly publishing

description: The Open Access movement launched twenty years ago as a way to overcome problems in the scholarly publishing sector, causing the scholarly communication landscape to evolve dramatically. It is a fitting time to reflect on the achievements of the movement and assess what more can be done to realise the full potential of Open Access. This dissertation assesses the successes and failings of the movement by examining the dreams, myths, and reality of Open Access, and looks to the future to gauge its continuing viability. A scoping literature review and interviews with Open Access librarians in three UK academic libraries were undertaken. This dissertation found that whilst it is undeniable that Open Access has made gains in the scholarly publishing sector, there are still many obstacles to overcome. The principle recommendations are to focus on collaboration and education to dispel myths that may develop, and continue to challenge the profit driven approach in order to resolve the remaining barriers.

description: Au départ de ce travail, je me questionnais sur le niveau d’impact de l’avis des parents dans les décisions prises au niveau scolaire pour leur enfant à besoins éducatifs particuliers. J’ai commencé une recherche bibliographique sur le sujet de la place des parents et du partenariat. J’ai pu, ensuite, interroger trois mamans dont leur enfant aux besoins éducatifs particuliers était en 1P dans une école ordinaire. Je leur ai donné la parole au sujet des différentes séances qu’elles ont vécues. Les buts des rencontres et les rôles des personnes présentes lors des réseaux ont pu être identifiés. Au travers de cette recherche, la notion d’acquisition de compétences pour les parents, grâce aux expériences vécues, est ressortie et fait écho aux recherches sur l’empowerment. Ma recherche a permis d’établir que c’est grâce au savoir-faire du professionnel pour créer du lien en dehors des réseaux, à sa souplesse et à sa capacité de remise en question que l’écoute du point de vue des parents, lors des rencontres, peut se faire de façon satisfaisante. En effet, de façon générale, les mères ont dit s’être senties entendues. En revanche, lorsqu’il y avait des sujets plus sensibles à aborder, les malentendus qui en ressortent confirment que les parents sont les premiers à constater les défis plus larges qui entourent ces moments de rencontre. En conclusion de ce mémoire, l’intérêt de se regrouper en collectif de parents pour équilibrer la relation du partenariat semble essentiel. L’idée est de trouver comment rendre les parents plus autonomes. Cette recherche donne un éclairage sur les compétences attendues, aussi bien des professionnels que des parents, pour permettre que leur avis soit pris en compte lors du processus de scolarisation de leur enfant
Lear and the Learned Theban
Creators: name: Lucking, David
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2014

description: The affinities between Shakespeare’s King Lear and Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, and in particular the pattern of allusion to eyes and to eyesight developed in both plays, is familiar critical terrain. The purpose of this essay is to consider in a somewhat broader perspective King Lear’s relation not only with Oedipus the King, but with the entire group of works generally referred to as the Theban plays. Elements in common between the works by Shakespeare and Sophocles, among which are the eyesight motif and its symbolic connotations, the figures of devoted daughters, a concern with relationships between parents and children, and an interest in what constitutes real knowledge of the self and of the world, are discussed in the first section of the essay. The question of why such parallels should exist, and in particular of whether Shakespeare knew Sophocles’ works either at first hand or as mediated through the derivative plays of Seneca, is investigated in the second part, while in the third the symbolic implications of the sight pattern shared by the works are examined in depth.
On the Brink of Sovereignty: Maroon Chief Alonso de Illescas and Vernacular Agency in the Colonial Atlantic
Creators: name: Sembe, Karina
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: African diaspora
subject: Colonization

description: Marronage is often treated in academic discussions as a compelling example of resistance, a type of agency that has a definitive insurgent impulse. This approach makes the study of maroons vulnerable to ideological taint because it can downplay the full complexity with which slave rebels and free people of color achieved social mobility and engaged with colonial power structures. By exploring late sixteenth century negotiations between a maroon leader named Alonso de Illescas and Spanish viceregal authorities in Esmeraldas province, Ecuador, I demonstrate how maroon agency in early colonial Latin America can disrupt theories about resistance or accommodation. I explore various types of mediation at work in negotiating power in the colonial Atlantic, uncover some of the risks associated with reading maroon agency through North Atlantic universals (namely the notion of sovereignty), and offer the term “subsovereign agency” to bridge the chasm between theory and colonial politics of marronage.

“The Elements so Mix’d”: Empedoclean Cosmology in The Tempest
Creators: name: Lucking, David
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Shakespeare plays

description: This article examines the manner in which the elemental images that constitute a recurrent motif in Shakespeare’s The Tempestevolve in accordance with the cosmic cycle propounded by the pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles, and how this serves to adumbrate the psychological process undergone by the protagonist Prospero in the course of the events depicted in the play. Prospero is a character who, dedicating himself exclusively to his arcane studies in Milan at the expense of his practical duties as a prince, has implicitly repudiated what he considers to be the inferior elements in his own being in favour of the more elevated aspects of his personality, this schism in the self being represented symbolically in the contraposition between Ariel and Caliban, associated respectively with air and fire, and earth and water. This corresponds to the phase in which Strife(neikos) gains ascendancy in the Empedoclean cycle, and in which the elements are segregated out from a primal unity and set in opposition to one another. The phase in the Empedoclean cycle in which the process reverses itself and Love (philia) begins to assert its sway is what appears in the here and now of the drama, as the disparate elements both within Prospero himself and in the world surrounding him undergo a process of convergence that eventually makes possible the reunification symbolized in Prospero’s charmed circle.
