Aboriginal crime prevention

description: This study examined the knowledge relevant to reducing crime affecting urban Aboriginal people through a risk-focused approach to prevention and a growing body of knowledge about how it gets implemented. It then examined this knowledge in a case study of its application in Winnipeg. Interviews were undertaken using a structured questionnaire with program stakeholders and policy planners involved in crime prevention initiatives, programming and policy in Winnipeg. Approximately half of the stakeholders were involved primarily with Aboriginal people and the other half were involved with programs that included both Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people. The interviews took place from September to November 2009. The interviews show that many stakeholders agree with the risk-focused prevention literature on risk factors and that there are prevention programs operating in Winnipeg serving at-risk Aboriginal people. Therefore, there exists the possibility of reducing crime given that they are tackling risk factors in a way which is consistent with crime prevention research. However, when the interviews turned to issues of implementation, it showed: • There is no responsibility centre to mobilize different sectors to tackle crime • Many programs are not implemented comprehensively • There is a lack of localized coordinated action (including support from the police chief and public engagement) • There is a lack of political leadership • There is no city-wide strategic plan, and • Programs are in constant competition for funding in order to continue operations. If we are to reduce the disproportionate rates of victimization and offending affecting urban Aboriginal peoples, we need to find more effective ways to implement the strategies that are proven to tackle risk factors. There must be support from the mayor and police chief, training and capacity development, and public engagement which fosters strong use of proven strategies. A responsibility centre with Aboriginal representation must be created. Funding must be expanded to support the community based organizations that are tackling established risk factors. Finally, sustained and adequate funding must be provided to these programs and the responsibility centre.
Addressing and Assessing the Entrepreneurial Orientation of an Organisation: A theoretical framework and operational protocol consisting of a contextual process model of corporate entrepreneurship and a cognitive mapping approach
Creators: name: Hillenbrand, H G Patrick
Publisher: name: University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Year: 2003
Subjects: corporate entrepreneurship

description: This research takes its stance from the corporate discipline of entrepreneurship, which is synonymously defined as the academic domain of "corporate entrepreneurship". This discipline views management and employees as interacting and intellective entities of an organisational (social and interpretative) system from which entrepreneurial actions are pursued, initiated and executed for the benefit of organisational performance and individual development. The purpose of this interpretive research is to explore, identify, analyse and visualise the strategic entrepreneurial processes within organisations. The research objectives include the development of an appropriate language to discuss the strategic organisational processes that exist in entrepreneurial firms that support and develop their entrepreneurial orientation. To achieve this objective, a theoretical framework is developed in the form of a contextual process model of corporate entrepreneurship together with the development of a methodological framework, i.e. operational protocol, for exploring the socially constructed phenomena of corporate entrepreneurship and for applying the contextual process model to real life organisational contexts. The other main research objective focuses on establishing to what extent this theoretical and methodological framework is effective as a tool to understand, assess and improve the entrepreneurial orientation of an organisation. The methodological framework proposed and applied in this research consists of a case research approach for relevant and meaningful information gathering, a cognitive mapping approach for the structuring of complex qualitative data and an operational comparison method called the EDI-framework (expectation, desirability and importance) as an interpretative data analysis method.

description: Mobile apps are very popular and widely used to collect data. However, traditional web development tools like .Net and J2EE take a generic approach to such applications that leads to high code complexity and poor quality assurance. At the same time, Business Intelligence (BI) portals and dashboards provide interactive reports that allow one to flexibly explore, analyze, and visualize data. However, they are usually defined independently of the applications which are the source of the data. As a result, complex ETL (Extract, Transfer, and Load data) processes are required to integrate and transform data for reporting. We propose an application framework that flexibly integrates mobile apps and BI dashboards. We implemented three different versions of the framework and conducted case studies using two different health care applications to evaluate the framework. They demonstrated the potential to develop BI applications that integrate mobile forms data with less effort, less complexity, more consistency, and better ease of use. More importantly, the application framework provided the ability to seamlessly integrate data collection and reporting in a single mobile app. The final version of the application framework, QuickForms 3.0, is now published as an open source project, and a growing community of developers are now using the framework to build a wide variety of mobile apps.

description: Gully erosion is a globally significant land degradation problem and a particularly important issue in dry-tropical savanna rangelands tributary to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia. In this region there is an estimated 87,000 km of gullies, providing the primary source of sediment and particulate nutrients (e.g., nitrogen and phosphorus) to the GBR. Remediating gullied landscapes and preventing further degradation is a major focus of government investment aimed at improving the quality of water entering the GBR. Effective management of gully erosion in these catchments, and tropical savannas more broadly, is constrained by a limited understanding of the key hydrological and geomorphological processes driving gully development. The effect of changing land management on sediment and nutrient fluxes within gullied catchments is also poorly understood. The overarching aim of this thesis is to improve understanding of the hydrogeomorphic processes controlling hillslope gully erosion and the associated fluxes of sediments and nutrients in savanna rangelands tributary to the GBR. Specifically, the thesis investigates: (1) the strengths and limitations of aerial (via an Unmanned Aircraft System, 'UAS'), and ground-based (via a handheld digital camera, 'GB') structure from motion with multi-view stereo photogrammetry (SfM), in quantifying the topographic expression of gullied savanna landscapes at different scales; (2) linkages between fine-scale hydrological connectivity pathways and gully hydrogeomorphic processes; and (3) the effect of reduced grazing pressure on sediment and nutrient yields in ephemeral streams draining gullied savanna rangelands.

description: What exactly has the impact of globalized texts been on translation theory? How far has translation theory taken into account the countless new formats and new modalities? This paper sets out to identify points of contact between two different realms, namely, new media with its various forms of global texts on the one hand, and traductological considerations on the other. What will emerge from such a comparison will be a series of significant convergences as well as new openings towards global texts. This study will provide an overview of the work of McLuhan and the criticism of The Gutenberg Galaxy; Lefevere and the theory of systems applied to translation; Meschonnic and issues regarding rhythm and Skopostheorie and translation for the theatre. From the disintegration of the printed form, rather than a re-composition and new textual entities, this study will argue that new modalities have led to an increase in discursive elements and the need for a connection above the mere linguistic level.

Excitotoxicity and sodium(+)-dependent glutamate transport in spinal cord white matter injury.
Creators: name: Li, Shuxin.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition, with much of the clinical disability resulting from disruption of ascending and descending white matter tracts. Recent reports suggest that a component of axonal dysfunction during SCI involves glutamate-mediated white matter damage, but the cellular targets of excitotoxicity and the precise mechanisms of glutamate release from non-synaptic white matter are not understood. In the present study, using combined techniques including electrophysiology, pharmacology, immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy, we demonstrate that myelinated axons in isolated dorsal columns are vulnerable to irreversible excitotoxic injury, which is primarily dependent on Ca2+-permeable AMPA receptors. The cellular components susceptible to glutamate include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and the myelin sheath, consistent with the distribution of GluR3 and GluR4 in these cell types in situ, but not GluR2. We also demonstrate that reduced transmembrane Na+ and K+ gradients induced by inhibiting Na+-K+-ATPase with ouabain plus high K+ could drive Na+-dependent glutamate transporters to operate in a reverse mode, resulting in glutamate release from intracellular compartments and functional failure in white matter tracts by activation of AMPA receptors. Using injury models of anoxia or trauma, we further show that the ionic and membrane potential perturbations induced during in vitro anoxia or trauma are sufficient to cause toxic glutamate efflux via reverse Na+-dependent glutamate transport, resulting in damage to the myelin sheath and possibly other structures by activation of AMPA receptors. Semiquantitative measurement of intracellular glutamate indicates that axon cylinders, and to a lesser extent oligodendrocytes, are the major cellular sources of endogenous glutamate release. Our findings are consistent with the immunolocalization of Na+-dependent transporters (GLT1, EAAC1 and GLAST) in dorsal columns. We conclude that white matter, especially glial elements including myelin, is vulnerable to excitotoxins acting via AMPA receptors; release of glutamate by reversal of Na+-dependent glutamate transport with subsequent activation of these receptors is an important mechanism in anoxic and traumatic injury of spinal cord white matter.

description: Gold catalysis has attracted much attention within the chemical community in recent years, and its importance as a synthetic tool has only started to be uncovered. This thesis describes the development of a gold(I) catalyzed transformation and its application to the synthesis of a structurally unique Lycopodium alkaloid, Magellanine. Although there have been a few reports on the synthesis of the magellanane core to date, the approach described herein would represent a new and efficient strategy to construct the angularly fused tetracyclic core. The 5 exo dig/Prins reaction that would be the key step of the synthesis was first developed and studied on a model substrate, enabling the verification of the hypothesis that this transformation could indeed form the A and B rings of Magellanine and be applied to its synthesis. This reaction formed the tricyclic products in good yields and in good exo:endo ratios. The synthesis of Magellanine was undertaken, but problems of isomerization prevented the synthesis of the desired 5 exo dig/Prins substrate, which contained the C and D rings of Magellanine with a cis relationship at the ring junction. However, an almost identical substrate, save for a trans configuration between the C and D rings instead of the cis configuration, was prepared and served in further establishing the applicability of this methodology to the synthesis of Magellanine by successfully undergoing the 5-exo-dig/Prins reaction and generating the tetracyclic products. Studies of the steps following the key transformation were performed on the model substrate, allowing for the evaluation of these steps prior to their use in the synthesis. The results of the studies indicate a possible need to revisit the order in which the steps should be carried out. Promising solutions to the different obstacle encountered during the work are presented, demonstrating how the synthesis of Magellanine through a route featuring the 5-exo-dig/Prins cyclization is attainable.

description: With physics education in crisis in Australia and elsewhere as student numbers continue to trend downwards (Smithers & Robinson, 2006), this research is timely as it investigated a 'smarter' way to teach physics. Theory and practice were blended to develop the Tablet/Workbook Pedagogy (TWP). Its use in teaching high school physics classes produced clear evidence of improved scores in, understanding of, and engagement with physics. It is anticipated that use of the TWP will ultimately attract and retain more students in physics classes.Cognitive Load Theory, (CLT) (Sweller, 1994) provides a basis for understanding why physics is so difficult for many students to learn (Osborne, 2005), particularly when traditional methods are used (Paas, 1992). CLT views learning as the generation, elaboration and automation of mental schemas for storage in long term memory. The process of schema construction occurs in working memory which can cope with the simultaneous processing of only a very limited numbers (two to four) f chunks of complex information (Cowan, 2001). In an inherently complex subject like physics (van Merriënboer & Sweller, 2005), learning can occur only after multiple interacting elements have been simultaneously processed in working memory. For many students, particularly novices, learning is severely restricted when their limited working memory resources are overwhelmed by the required processing task and cognitive overload results.
Traduzione, riscrittura e manipolazione ideologica: le ‘cover’ delle canzoni di Dylan negli anni ‘60
Creators: name: Garzone, Giuliana Elena
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano

description: This study investigates the translation of the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s songs into Italian. In particular, it focuses on the translations produced in the 1960s, when the Italian public was just starting to get acquainted with the most innovative cultural and artistic phenomena then occurring abroad, and in particular in the US. While in those days only a limited intellectual elite was seriously interested in such phenomena and in their political and artistic relevance, the record industry – then thriving  – merely exploited them for the superficial appeal they could have on the public at large, at a time when a rising wave of juvenilism and xenophily was sweeping the still largely parochial scene of contemporary Italian culture. Against this background, this study discusses the main strategies adopted in the translation of Dylan’s texts into Italian, focusing on two among his most popular songs, “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Rainy Day Women 12 & 35”, and shows that the translation evidently gives more consideration to the recipients’ tastes and to the record industry’s marketing strategies than to the original message, which is altered and deprived of its potentially subversive ideological value, an alteration also made possible by the failure to abide by copyright laws (Dylan’s authorship is not even acknowledge on record labels).  The analysis not only contributes to shedding light on the cultural value of Dylan’s early works in Italian contemporary culture, but also provides the opportunity to discuss the ideological potential of the translator’s work, which, requiring a whole sequence of decisions, inherently offers a high potential for (more or less inadvertent) manipulation and ideological defusing.

description: Background: Responding to intimate partner violence (IPV) and its consequences is made complex by women’s diverse needs, priorities and contexts. Tailored online IPV interventions that account for differences among women have potential to reduce barriers to support and improve key outcomes. Methods: Double blind randomized controlled trial of 462 Canadian adult women who experienced recent IPV randomly were assigned to receive either a tailored, interactive online safety and health intervention (iCAN Plan 4 Safety) or a static, non-tailored version of this tool. Primary (depressive symptoms, PTSD symptoms) and secondary (helpfulness of safety actions, confidence in safety planning, mastery, social support, experiences of coercive control, and decisional conflict) outcomes were measured at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months later via online surveys. Generalized Estimating Equations were used to test for differences in outcomes by study arm. Differential effects of the tailored intervention for 4 strata of women were examined using effect sizes. Exit survey process evaluation data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests and conventional content analysis. Results: Women in both tailored and non-tailored groups improved over time on primary outcomes of depression (p < .001) and PTSD (p < .001) and on all secondary outcomes. Changes over time did not differ by study arm. Women in both groups reported high levels of benefit, safety and accessibility of the online interventions, with low risk of harm, although those completing the tailored intervention were more positive about fit and helpfulness. Importantly, the tailored intervention had greater positive effects for 4 groups of women, those: with children under 18 living at home; reporting more severe violence; living in medium-sized and large urban centers; and not living with a partner. Conclusion: This trial extends evidence about the effectiveness of online safety and health interventions for women experiencing IPV to Canadian women and provides a contextualized understanding about intervention processes and effects useful for future refinement and scale up. The differential effects of the tailored intervention found for specific subgroups support the importance of attending to diverse contexts and needs. iCAN is a promising intervention that can complement resources available to Canadian women experiencing IPV.

Measuring earnings inequality in full-time earnings: an Australian example
Creators: name: Esposto, Alexis
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Over the last three decades, Australia and many other industrialised nations have seen increasing inequality of earnings. For the US and other countries, the prevailing explanation for the increase in inequality centres on the notion of skill-biased technological change (SBTC). This paper investigates the increase in inequalities in full-time earnings in Australia and its likely causes. The analysis found that earnings inequality for males and females across occupations had increased overall irrespective of the inequality measures used. The paper also explains the causes of earnings inequality using measures of skill and knowledge derived from the O*NET. These findings provide evidence, using average earnings across occupations rather than individual earnings, that support the SBTC hypothesis for full-time work in Australia.

description: Both the translation and the revised version of a literary text give rise to similar issues, for in both cases one can adopt a strategy of either appropriate rewriting or appropriating rewriting. In the former case, the tendency is to respect the properties and peculiar qualities of the Other; in the latter, the tendency is to manipulate and distort the text, to reduce the Other to the Self and not to contemplate the creative potentialities of contaminated language. Italian publishing houses seem to be afraid of hybridity: homologation, order, syntactical and lexical propriety appear more alluring. But it is the two elements of the foreign and the new enclosed in the concept of hybridity that allow the translator to challenge the cultural values of the publishing establishment. Even if liminal space is an unexplored area by the Italian publishing sector, the concept of in-betweeness is very useful for translation, in particular post-colonial translation. One of the fields in which the creative potential of liminal space can be fully explored by translators, revisers and publishers alike is the field of contact languages, for pidgins and creoles move freely in the interstitial zone. An example taken from Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), and its comparison with Adriana Motti’s translation, published by Adelphi in 1971, allow us to show what is meant by appropriate and appropriating rewriting.

description: The way team sports are played, coached, trained for, and analysed has substantially changed over the last century. With greater incentives for elite teams to achieve success has come the pressure to perform. This has resulted in every aspect of the game implementing a continuous improvement mentality to maximise its operational efficiency and performance to gain a competitive advantage. From this, understanding team or player performance is fundamental to achieving club objectives. This has resulted in the process and application of match performance analysis to be regarded as an essential component in the implementation of a system to maximise team success. The aims of this research were to establish key performance indicators for elite netball and test if they are independent of playing standard. It establishes a new suite of methods to provide context to existing performance metrics and enable greater insight into team strategy and tactical success including the locomotion used by athletes and their location throughout the match. Findings from this research have provided coaching staff at the elite level with a quantified, objective record of the match allowing them to compare a defined set of performance indicators to their own subjective evaluation. This has allowed the implementation of an informed game plan to maximise team performance, and developing targeted position specific training schedules that directly compare to the physical conditions encountered in a match.

description: This study constitutes a further development of my doctoral thesis For a Methodology of Translation Criticism: the Italian Translations of The Secret Sharer by Joseph Conrad, where the importance of the translational metalanguage was discussed. In the first section of this paper several definitions of translation and rewriting (mainly by Eco, Bassnet and Lefevere, and Torop) are reviewed, thus highlighting contrasting positions concerning the very definition thereof. The main characteristics of an Italian version of The Secret Sharer for young readers – L’ospite segreto translated by Pieroni and Liberio – are listed, showing the editing and translating strategies underlying this specific text in which the target reader is very different from the source reader. The role of the target reader in translation practice is eventually examined, by stressing the vital status of metalanguage in translation criticism.

Development of a scale to measure destination social responsibility and the co-orientation analysis in the perception of destination social responsibility

description: With worldwide efforts for achieving destination management in a responsible manner, the need for measuring destination social responsibility has emerged within tourism sectors. This study has two research aims: (i) to develop a scale that embodies the components and measurement items of destination social responsibility in a multidimensional perspective and (ii) to analyse the differences in perceptions of destination social responsibility between local government officials and residents by using the co-orientation model. Destination social responsibility refers to the collective efforts and ideology of the stakeholders of tourist destination that are used to carry out social responsibility (Su et al., 2018). The co-orientation model is a framework that uses indicators of agreement, congruency, accuracy, and meta-agreement to analyze the view of two communication parties about a common issue or cognitive object and describe the state of the communication. Data was collected using a survey of local residents and public officials in Busan (n=388), South Korea in 2018. It was found that the components of destination social responsibility consist of the following four constructs: responsibility for governance, responsibility for economy, responsibility for environment and responsibility for cooperation. The co-orientation analysis revealed that there were statistically significant differences held in the perceptions of destination social responsibility by local residents and public officials and both groups inaccurately estimated the other group’s view of destination social responsibility. It seems public officials over-estimate local residents’ evaluation on destination social responsibility while residents underestimate the local government’s perception of destination social responsibility. The multi-dimensional destination social responsibility scale developed in the present study may serve as a reference and be applied in future quantitative research and veriﬁcations of causality. An examination of the different view of destination social responsibility issues among groups provides useful insights into the sources of problems in a communication. Other academic and practical implications of this study were discussed in terms of tourism policy, tourism communication, and tourism culture.

description: The social reality implied by SSM has not been formally discussed in academic circles since 1984. Yet what the methodology hopes to achieve in the real world is often demonstrated, through applications of it to various industries and more recently to the field of Information Systems. The recent focus of SSM research has been in and around the modelling process (Ledington and Ledington, (1999)) , Mode 1 and Mode 2 SSM (Checkland and Holwell, (1998)) combining hard and soft Systems Methodologies in industry practice (Mingers, (2000)). Very few researchers have attempted to tackle the notion of the social reality implied by SSM. Even fewer have attempted to describe what the notion of "Comparison" really means for real world users and the extent to which that process is the beginning of the social process inside SSM. This thesis attempts to extract the process of comparison and present it apart from SSM. The purpose of this is to understand the social process of comparison and therefore the social process inside SSM. Six cases using the idea over different areas including: managing technology, database development and design, aged care work, training development and, information systems development are presented and analysed. By examining the idea in some detail, in practice, a form of social process can be extracted and therefore the social reality (or what the methodology hopes to achieve in the real world of human activity) can be understood. Furthermore, the thesis presents SSM in a different management context. The context of everyday management as opposed to specialist project management situations as traditionally has been the case. For example, the cases presented all use the concept of engaging ideas and situation whilst not maintaining the structure of the original seven stage model. An everyday approach for SSM makes it more practicable in application and presents a new mode for SSM that has been dealt with sparingly in the past.

description: Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a pathway that has been known for almost 2 decades, but few studies have investigated its importance in natural groundwaters. This thesis investigated the presence of anammox cells and the groundwater geochemistry of 2 sites (Elmira and Putnam) in southwestern Ontario where groundwaters are contaminated with high levels of nitrate and ammonium. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used to quantify the relative abundance of anammox cells in these waters. Our results showed that anammox cells could be detected in many wells at both sites and that their relative abundance varied between 0.45 and 4.81 % at the Putnam site, whereas it ranged between 0.8 to 8.4 % at the Elmira site. These values are within the same range as those obtained for marine and freshwater environments where anammox cells have been detected. In addition, indirect observations point to the fact that N cycling at the 2 sites might be linked to Fe and Mn reduction, but additional experiments are needed. In summary, our results corroborate the findings of N-labeled microcosm experiments which demonstrated that anammox was an important pathway of N cycling in those groundwaters and molecular analyses that detected important anammox organisms at the same sites.

The theory of language and linguistics put forth by Herman Paul (1846-1921) is then examined, focusing on the classification of sciences illustrated in the seminal theoretical essay of the German philologist, Prinzipien der Sprachgeschichte. The analysis of Paul’s work and of the terms used brings forth the implications of this classification, which aimed to give value to linguistics under a new historical perspective. The paper then considers the English translation of Paul’s Prinzipien, showing the difficulties and the inconsistencies in the terminological choices. Only a comprehensive analysis of the theory and its terms can lead to a deeper understanding of their implications, and thus pave the way to more consistent and effective translation. However, as shown by the analysis of the title of the essay, some terms can challenge the translator to the point that it becomes necessary to privilege one of the components of meaning, and accept solutions that are far form perfect and homogeneous across different languages.

description: Chlorine solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is an ideal site specific probe of chloride-containing solids as SSNMR tensor properties are sensitive to the local chlorine environment. In this thesis, the development and use of chlorine SSNMR as a method to characterize a wide variety of chemical environments was explored. Ultrahigh field, and multi-field studies were essential to overcome the difficulties associated with the collection of chlorine SSNMR spectra. Benchmark chemical shift (CS) and electric field gradient (EFG) tensor data were collected for organic chloride systems, including several amino acid hydrochlorides. These experiments demonstrated the sensitivity of chlorine SSNMR to slight changes in chemical environment. Quantum chemical calculations were used to complement experimental data, with the gauge-including projector augmented wave DFT (GIPAW-DFT) method shown to yield better agreement than B3LYP or RHF methods. The GIPAW-DFT method was found to slightly, but systematically, overestimate the chlorine quadrupolar coupling constant and the CS tensor span. Other organic chlorides examined by chlorine SSMR included a known ion receptor, meso-octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole. This compound was found to have a very small quadrupole interaction (QI), but significant chemical shift anisotropy (CSA). GIPAW-DFT calculations were also utilized and, in combination with the experimental results, used to identify the solvate structure of the material analyzed by NMR. Chlorine SSNMR was further used to study different solvate structures and polymorphism. The technique was an effective means to distinguish different room temperature polymorphs of benzidine hydrochloride, despite the similarities of the chloride environments. In the case of magnesium chloride, chlorine SSNMR was sensitive to the level of hydration and through the use of GIPAW-DFT calculations, the identity of an unknown hydrate was determined. An analysis of several group thirteen chlorides demonstrated that chlorine SSNMR was also capable of characterizing the chlorine environment in cases where the QI is large, despite the resulting broad line widths. In these systems GIPAW-DFT calculations also yielded excellent agreement with experimental values. Throughout this research, chlorine SSNMR has been shown to be a useful and effective means to study both organic and inorganic chlorides, with computational methods proving to be an important complement to experimental data.

Ancora sull’italiano delle traduzioni
Creators: name: Cardinaletti, Anna

description: This article discusses and exemplifies the ways in which Italian as a product of translation differs from spontaneous Italian. In particular, the translated language would seem to be characterised by more options than native Italian, due to free variation with the options influenced by the language of the original text. Though somehow a physiological byproduct of the translation activity, interference should be monitored, as it may give rise to different interpretations  from those of the original text and/or to stylistic choices not appropriate to the context.

description: La situation actuelle est passablement éprouvante à la Société Radio-Canada (SRC). Depuis 2009, le radiodiffuseur public canadien a aboli plus de 3000 postes en raisons de pressions financières de plus en plus importantes. Toutefois, le gouvernement libéral, élu en octobre 2015 promet d’injecter 675 millions $ au budget du le diffuseur public, ce qui devrait grandement accroître sa marge de manœuvre. La stratégie 2020, Un espace pour nous tous annonce un plan de réduction de la main d’œuvre et, malgré les promesses du gouvernement, la direction garde le cap sur les coupures de postes. La SRC espère ainsi naviguer à travers les profondes transformations en cours dans l’industrie des médias. De nouvelles habitudes de consommation s’implantent au sein de la population et, dans son plan stratégique 2020, Radio- Canada affiche clairement son intention de changer ses façons de faire pour s’adapter au nouvel écosystème médiatique. Comment Radio-Canada compte-t-elle effectuer les changements nécessaires tout en continuant de remplir son mandat? Est-ce que les restrictions financières limiteront les ambitions des dirigeants? Des rencontres avec des employés et des dirigeants de la SRC offrent un éclairage important sur la stratégie de l’entreprise et ce qu’elle sera en mesure d’offrir au public comme mode de transmission de l’information. En mobilisant les théories du surplus cognitif (Clay Shirky), de la longue traîne (Chris Anderson), de la créativité (Teresa M. Amabile) et des contraintes (Eliyahu Goldratt) nous dresserons un portrait ponctuel des défis qui attendent Radio-Canada et de la façon dont le diffuseur public compte les relever.
Reward through collective reflection: an auto-ethnography

description: This paper provides an exemplar to teachers and professionals for engaging with collective reflection techniques for vocational development and identity consciousness. Drawing on concepts of collective reflection and autoethnography, this paper explores the journey of our academic teaching team through a combination of individual reflections, diaries and recollections that occurred during the application process of a teaching and learning award. This salient journey enabled us to reflect on 'what we do' and challenged us to deeply consider 'why we do it'. This experience has consequently had considerable impact on how we conduct our internship programme, how we view ourselves in relation to others and insights into how we learn.
La riforma dell’arte drammatica e i suoi protagonisti: Baron e Adrienne Le Couvreur e l’influenza della Commedia dell’Arte nell’evoluzione della declamazione tragica settecentesca

description: La riforma dell’arte drammatica nel primo Settecento francese trova in Baron e in Adrienne Le Couvreur, attori della Comédie Française, due protagonisti d’eccezione. Scopo del saggio sarà definire il loro apporto al superamento definitivo della declamazione tragica mutuata dalla tradizione retorica, analizzandone i legami con la tradizione comica antecedente e studiando la linea diretta che dalla Le Couvreur, a ritroso, congiunge Baron al suo maestro e scopritore Molière e alla tradizione italiana della Commedia dell’Arte.

Conchiglie, orologi e insetti: gli infiniti di Rousseau
Creators: name: Giargia, Miryam

Year: 2011

description: Diverse definizioni di infinito si intrecciano nell’opera di Rousseau. Nei suoi testi di carattere normativo, il ‘vero’ infinito di Dio viene contrapposto a un infinito prodotto dalla nostra immaginazione, dal quale derivano tutte le nostre sofferenze. Tale contrapposizione è invece assente negli scritti autobiografici, dove Rousseau individua nell’immaginazione una fonte indispensabile di felicità, giungendo a formulare una nuova forma di infinito: l’infinito estatico.
