Keywords: cancer, ethics, rare cancer types, oncology nursing careIs rare cancer management a nursing ethics issue? A rare cancer is commonly defined as occurring in less than six people out of every 100,000 people (Drabbe et al., 2021). Treatment for rare cancer offers numerous challenges for patients such as a likely delay in diagnosis and difficulty finding a specialist (Drabbe et al., 2021). Patients with a rare cancer struggle to access information on their diagnosis, which may cause distress (Blay et al., 2016; Srikanthan et al., 2019). There is also less clinical trial-based evidence available in treating rare cancers (Drabbe et al., 2021; Van Der Graaf et al., 2022). In addition, it is difficult for these patients to find clinical trials in which to participate (Blay et al., 2016). Thus, there are fewer drugs for rare cancer, which likely contributes to the shorter overall survival for these patients (Kondo, 2021).

There is no shortage of academic literature regarding U.S. military veterans and their susceptibility to domestic extremist recruitment. However, this essay identifies a new potential culprit: military doctrine itself. Around 2006, amidst a deteriorating situation in Iraq, the U.S. military looked to history for innovative ideas on how to address a deteriorating counter-insurgency conflict. Unfortunately, they drew from several dubious historical examples, most notably, the documents crafted by French theorists during and after their 1954-1962 war in Algeria. We theorize that by heavily citing these French theorists without considering their conspiratorial underpinnings known as guerre révolutionnaire, the resulting product (FM 3-24, Counter-insurgency) inadvertently legitimized guerre révolutionnaire’s philosophies to U.S. military members. With the rise in domestic extremist groups correlating with FM 3-24’s publication, we examined whether guerre révolutionnaire’s concepts were present in modern extremist rhetoric. While it was not possible in this introductory study to establish a direct relationship between FM 3-24 and the rise in U.S. domestic extremism, we find that 1) guerre révolutionnaire’s tenets are present in U.S. extremist rhetoric, 2) there are subtle differences in rhetorical attitudes between veteran and non-veteran domestic extremists within their respective groups, and 3) previous concerns regarding the improper use of history for doctrine appear valid. Finally, we consider these results in the context of future studies regarding FM 3-24’s effects and the need for an interdisciplinary approach.

This case study discusses the challenges of end-of-life decision-making in practice, focusing on the delicate balance between medical paternalism, shared decision-making, and the rights of surrogate decision makers. The family initially struggles to grasp the severity of their loved one’s medical condition but a pivotal moment during the Goals of Care meeting brings sudden clarity. This case explores the appropriateness and implications of the practice of informed non-dissent; and our analysis suggests that it is inappropriate unless there is compelling evidence for decision paralysis. Practical strategies are offered that facilitate compassionate dying care within the constraints of clinical urgency.

ABSTRACTChronic pain following distal biceps rupture (DBR) is often nonspecific in that it may arise due to the injury, subsequent surgical repair, or a combination of factors, making the painful symptoms challenging to treat. Peripheral nerve injury in the setting of DBR most commonly affects the musculocutaneous nerve or one of its terminal branches and may lead to chronic neuropathic pain involving the elbow and lateral/radial aspect of the forearm. In this brief technical report, we describe an ultrasound-guided (USG) technique for percutaneous implantation of a peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) targeting the musculocutaneous nerve, along with an illustrative case report of successful treatment of chronic refractory pain following DBR utilizing this technique. Six months postimplantation, the patient reported a greater than 60% baseline pain intensity reduction, and no complications were noted.

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s and Bertrand Russell’s views on mysticism show their intense interest in this subject and how they explored its nature and possibilities. Wittgenstein, who had abandoned his Catholic faith as a teenager, became a religious searcher, which began from his fears of the terrors of war. He had enlisted as a soldier to fight for Austro-Hungary during which his terror of war led him to pray to God for refuge. The fortuitous discovery of Leo Tolstoy’s book, The Gospel in Brief, opened Wittgenstein’s mind to the importance of Jesus and led him to value Christianity once more. Russell’s interest in mysticism appears in a published article written in 1914 and seems to have been one of curiosity, rather than religious. From a young age, Russell became extremely interested in mathematics and he came to perceive that this subject might be called mathematical mysticism. In both cases, Wittgenstein and Russell shared a keen interest in mysticism, with Wittgenstein concluding in his Tractatus that the mystical was transcendent while Russell chose to examine how mysticism and empiricism might complement each other.

In many parts of the world, motorized travel is one of the most common ways that people interact with their regional landscape. This study investigates how travelers' understandings of place might be influenced by what landforms they can see from a vehicle. It uses a cumulative viewshed analysis on the Washington State (United States) highway network to determine which physical landscape features are most frequently visible or obscured from the road. Adapting ideas from Kevin Lynch's The Image of the City, I propose spatial data processing methods to derive landmarks, edges, and districts that could most contribute to the mental maps of travelers and should be prioritized for labeling on print, electronic, and augmented reality maps. Other applications of the cumulative viewshed include deriving scenic byways, siting proposed construction for high or low visibility, and guiding conversations about critical toponymy and perceptions of place.

Contexte : Soixante-huit cas confirmés en laboratoire de la maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) (12 en Alberta, 56 en Saskatchewan) sont liés à un rassemblement dans un hôpital en Alberta du 1er au 4 juin 2020 et à une veillée funèbre et des funérailles dans une communauté des Premières Nations du nord de la Saskatchewan du 9 au 11 juin 2020. Objectif : Les objectifs étaient de fournir une description complète de l’épidémiologie de l’éclosion et de décrire les chaînes de transmission pour étayer l’hypothèse selon laquelle il y aurait eu des introductions multiples de la COVID-19 lors de la veillée funèbre et des funérailles. Méthodes : L’enquête sur les cas et la recherche des contacts ont été menées par les services de santé publique locaux en Alberta et en Saskatchewan, et l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada a effectué une analyse centralisée des cas. Une courbe épidémique et un diagramme de Gantt pour la période infectieuse ont été créés pour confirmer ou infirmer l’existence d’introductions multiples de la COVID-19 lors de la veillée funèbre et des funérailles. Résultats : Les dates de début de maladie s’échelonnaient du 31 mai au 1er juillet 2020. L’âge variait de 2 à 80 ans (âge médian = 43 ans). Cinq cas ont été hospitalisés; il n’y a pas eu de décès. Les renseignements disponibles sur l’exposition aux cas soutiennent l’hypothèse qu’il y a eu de multiples introductions de la COVID-19 lors de la veillée funèbre et des funérailles. Les autorités de santé publique de l’Alberta et de la Saskatchewan ont déclaré la fin de l’éclosion le 20 juillet 2020, soit deux périodes d’incubation (i.e. 28 jours) après l’apparition de la maladie chez le dernier cas primaire. Conclusion : Pendant les éclosions multijuridictionnelles, le partage des données, la coordination entre les autorités de la santé publique et l’analyse centralisée sont essentiels pour comprendre les événements qui ont conduit à l’éclosion et les hypothèses possibles concernant les chaînes de transmission.

Background: Sixty-eight laboratory-confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (12 in Alberta [AB], 56 in Saskatchewan [SK]) were linked to a gathering at a hospital in Alberta on June 1–4, 2020, and a wake/funeral in a First Nations community in northern Saskatchewan on June 9–11, 2020. Objective: The objectives were to provide a comprehensive description of the epidemiology of the outbreak and describe the chains of transmission to inform the hypothesis that there were multiple introductions of COVID-19 at the wake/funeral. Methods: Case investigation and contact tracing was conducted by local public health in AB and SK. The Public Health Agency of Canada conducted a centralized case analysis. An epidemic curve and a Gantt chart for period of communicability were created to support or refute whether there had been multiple introductions of COVID-19 at the wake/funeral. Results: Illness onset dates ranged from May 31 to July 1, 2020. Ages ranged from 2 to 80 years (median age=43 years). Five cases were hospitalized; there were no deaths. The available case exposure information supports the hypothesis that there had been multiple introductions of COVID-19 at the wake/funeral. Public health authorities in AB and SK declared the outbreak over on July 20, 2020; based on two incubation periods (i.e. 28 days) following the illness onset of the last primary case. Conclusion: During multijurisdictional outbreaks, data sharing, coordination across health authorities and centralized analysis is essential to understanding the events that lead to the outbreak and possible hypotheses around chains of transmission.

Community-based monitoring is a promising strategy for collaboratively documenting knowledge that has become increasingly widespread among Indigenous communities, institutions, and governments across the Arctic. In January 2012, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board launched the Community-Based Monitoring Network (CBMN) to document current Inuit harvesting practices using modern technology by engaging Inuit harvesters in Nunavut who hunt, fish, gather, and observe wildlife. We provide an overview of the CBMN and discuss the challenges and opportunities of integrating data gathered through the CBMN in co-management decision-making. The CBMN has resulted in the collection of 7225 wildlife harvest and 2623 observation records by 85 harvesters in seven communities during 5594 on the land trips covering a combined area of approximately 400 000 km2. The CBMN represents a powerful approach to knowledge production by Inuit harvesters that is relevant to wildlife managers and co-management agencies. However, the data collected through the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board’s CBMN neither follow conventional wildlife study scientific standards, nor match the outputs of participatory Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit social science research. Instead, it represents a hybrid form of the types of information typically used in resource management discussions. Although such data can inform decision-making, further work may be necessary to fulfill this potential.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to gather emerging practice evidence, through consultation with Advance Practice Nurses (APN), to fill the evidence gaps in the published guidelines, Effective Use of Advanced Practice Nurses in the Delivery of Adult Cancer Services in Ontario, and to provide a set of expert panel recommendations to build a research agenda to promote the collection and publication of Level 1 and 2 evidence. Method: A three-step RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Methodology (RAM) modified Delphi process was used to solicit expert opinion on the use of APNs in adult cancer care in Ontario. Results: Thirty-four (34) case examples of APN use were gathered. The modified Delphi process concluded with the endorsement of 30 APN role statements that were used to develop nine (9) additional recommendations regarding the use of APNs in the delivery of adult cancer care. Conclusion: The recommendations from this study provide direction for future research to close the current evidence gap regarding the role of APNs in cancer care delivery in Canada.

Objectifs : La présente étude avait pour but de recueillir, en consultation avec les infirmières en pratique avancée (IPA), des données probantes sur les pratiques émergentes afin de combler les lacunes à cet égard dans les lignes directrices sur le recours judicieux aux infirmières en pratique avancée dans la prestation des services aux adultes atteints de cancer en Ontario (Effective Use of Advanced Practice Nurses in the Delivery of Adult Cancer Services in Ontario), ainsi que de proposer un ensemble de recommandations, formulées par un groupe d’experts, pour créer un programme de recherche qui permettra de recueillir et de publier des données probantes de niveau 1 et de niveau 2. Méthodologie : Une enquête Delphi modifiée à trois tours faisant appel à la méthodologie mise au point par RAND et UCLA (aussi appelée « Appropriateness Methodology ») a été utilisée pour solliciter l’avis des spécialistes sur le recours aux IPA pour le soin des adultes atteints de cancer en Ontario.Résultats : Trente-quatre (34) cas de recours aux IPA ont été recensés. L’enquête Delphi modifiée a permis de définir 30 énoncés de rôle à partir desquels ont été formulées neuf (9) recommandations supplémentaires sur l’intervention des IPA dans la prestation des soins aux adultes atteints de cancer.Conclusion : Les recommandations de la présente étude orienteront les recherches à venir pour combler les lacunes au chapitre des données probantes quant au rôle des IPA dans la prestation des soins du cancer au Canada.

Modern languages and digital humanities – broadly defined – share a kind of kinship. Scholars in both fields face questions that traditional literary scholars of English would never have to answer. There always has to be some explanation for why one studies another language, or draws upon tools and methods that are more than incidentally digital. Much as advocates for modern languages and digital humanities speak to their benefits, neither offers its practitioners an easy path. Still, we tell ourselves that the struggle is worth it, because these paths take us to places we could not imagine if we limited ourselves to the analog and the Anglophone.

Cyber-wellness concerns positive wellbeing in online spaces, including awareness of how to behave appropriately and protect oneself. We explain and illustrate the complex nature of cyber-wellness, focusing on four key aspects. Firstly, developing students’ information and media literacy skills is essential for promoting cyber-wellbeing. Such skills are also required for supporting democratic participation. Secondly, we identify and discuss the threats and challenges to young people’s cyber-wellbeing, arguing for the need to develop digital resilience. Thirdly, we discuss the role of policy at macro, meso and micro levels and how policy and educational practitioners can promote cyber-wellness awareness, knowledge and strategies. Finally we review the limited scholarship on cyber-wellness education and highlight the need to address this gap in the future. We conclude the article with consideration of the issues faced and opportunities for overcoming these. It is imperative that further work is undertaken on the conceptualisation of cyber-wellness and that concensus is developed. There are issues relating to the continual rapid developments of techologies and their uses; it is important to develop a shared understanding of the mutual relationship between technology and humans. Finally, there is a lack of guidance and good practice exemplars for cyber-wellness education.

This article builds on the work of EDUsummIT2019’s thematic working group 2 (TWG2) focus on “Learning as Learning Leaders: How does leadership for learning emerge beyond the traditional teaching models?” Using the well-established theoretical frameworks of Entwistle (1987) and Shulman (1987) the most significant influences on how learning leaders need to adjust to accommodate the dramatic increase in remote online learning are identified. The major influences include learners’ previous knowledge, self-confidence, abilities and motives, and changes between learning initiated by teachers and that by learners. COVID-19 has caused a massive upskilling of people in all facets of society from children to grandparents, from media to consumers, and from policy makers to practitioners. None of the alignments nor factors identified in this article are static and learning leaders need to perpetually reconsider the factors identified to achieve successful learning outcomes. The ongoing challenges for educators in this changing world are in a permanent state of flux with an increasing IT literate society across all formal and informal sectors of education.

Assessing and reforming classroom literacy has become a preoccupation of nations worldwide, not the least in the Pacific where countries are often working toward literacy in English within multilingual contexts. In Solomon Islands, in 2013, the poor results in regional and local literacy testing precipitated a review of how the English language was taught in primary schools across this multilingual nation. In the subsequent reform of classroom literacy materials and associated training for teachers, a principled approach was taken using a Systemic Functional Linguistics framework. Such an approach uses a model of language instruction based on language strata together with explicit teaching within a learning cycle to support reading and writing. This article describes how such principles from sfl were embedded into new teaching materials for the early years of primary school and the accompanying training for teachers and principals that took place from 2014–2016. The work offers a potential model of reform for other settings where the development of literacy in a non-community language is critical to students’ success in schooling.

Cette leçon explique comment installer le logiciel Jupyter Notebook, comment créer et exécuter des carnets Jupyter, et dans quels contextes ces carnets peuvent se révéler particulièrement utiles.

The use of customary law shows real promise in addressing the challenges that arise when confronting the legacies of past human rights abuses and atrocities. Unlike typical transitional justice mechanisms like trials, truth commissions, and reparations programs, customary practices are community-based and well-known to the people who use them. Indeed, customary practices could be used in transitional societies in place of “foreign” practices to bring about the same objectives. This paper considers the role that customary law plays in Fiji. It further assesses the prospects for the use of customary, traditional law in situations where transitional justice is called for.

Most methods for computational text analysis involve doing things with “words”: counting them, looking at their distribution within a text, or seeing how they are juxtaposed with other words. While there’s nothing about these methods that limits their use to English, they tend to be developed with certain assumptions about how “words” work – among them, that words are separated by a space, and that words are minimally inflected (i.e. that there aren’t a lot of different forms of a word). English fits both of these assumptions, but many languages do not. This tutorial covers major challenges for doing computational text analysis caused by the grammar or writing systems of various languages, and ways to overcome these issues.

This paper focuses on recent work by the TEI Archiving, Preservation, and Access Service (TAPAS) on pedagogy with TEI, and specifically on a recent initiative called “TAPAS Classroom” focused on exploring pedagogical uses of TEI. We provide some background on TAPAS, describe several case studies involving pedagogical partners who used TAPAS in teaching, and finally describe the TAPAS Classroom initiative and its outcomes.

Over the past decade, the field of Library and Information Studies (LIS) has promoted cultural competence as a means of improving services to multicultural or traditionally underserved populations. However, critical LIS scholars have noted that cultural competence and diversity are viewed predominately as a matter of skill acquisition on the part of the library worker, rather than as one that involves a critique of the forces of structural racism, discrimination, and colonialism in society. In response, this paper proposes adapting frameworks from other professions for the library context: Multi-Dimensional Cultural Competence (MDCC) from counselling psychology, and cultural safety (CS) from Indigenous nursing. The former views cultural competence in terms of diversity factors, components, and multiple levels of foci, while the second is premised in postcolonial understandings and respect for Indigenous knowledges. The proposed synthesis, Multi-Dimensional Cultural Safety (MDCS), is established by first identifying the epistemological and ideological shortcomings of cultural competence, focusing on the need for institutional critiques as well as a recognition of racialization and power structures. Next, the two existing frameworks are explained in terms of their origins, content, and professional contexts, noting how each addresses the shortcomings of cultural competence as well as each other’s shortcomings. The proposed framework is then elaborated upon in an LIS context and illustrated with hypothetical examples.

Multiphase fluid flow is an active field of research in numerous branches of science and technology. An interesting subset of multiphase flow problems involves the dispersion of one phase into another in the form of many small bubbles or droplets, and their subsequent separation back into bulk phases after this has occurred. Phase dispersion may be a desirable effect, for example in the production of emulsions of otherwise immiscible liquids or to increase interfacial surface area for chemical reactions, or an undesirable one, for example in the intermixing of waste and product phases during processing or the generation of foams preventing gas-liquid decoupling. The present paper describes a computational fluid dynamics method based on the multiple marker front-capturing algorithm – itself an extension of the volume-of-fluids method for multiphase flow – which is capable of scaling to mesoscale systems involving thousands of droplets or bubbles. The method includes sub-grid models for solution of the Reynolds equation to account for thin film dynamics and rupture. The method is demonstrated with an implementation in the OpenFOAM® computational mechanics framework. Comparisons against empirical data are presented, together with a performance benchmarking study and example applications.

This paper investigates the role of folk festivals in transforming interconnections between people, space and culture. It interlinks three sets of theoretical ideas: social capital, cultural capital and heterotopia to suggest a new conceptual framework that will help to frame a deeper understanding of the nature of celebration. Qualitative data were collected at two long-established folk festivals, Sidmouth Folk Festival in southern England and the Feakle Traditional Music Festival in western Ireland, in order to investigate these potential links. Although Foucault did not fully develop the concept of heterotopia, his explanation that heterotopias are counter-sites, which, unlike utopias, are located in real, physical, space-time, has inspired others, including some festival researchers, to build on his ideas. This study concludes that the heterotopian concept of the festival as sacred space, with the stage as umbilicus, may be linked to the building of social capital; while it is suggested that both social capital and appropriate cultural capital are needed to gain full entry to the heterotopia.

Section 1 briefly reviews first the received interpretation of Bentham, which sees him as having had little to do with the development of economics (excepting some passing mentions which recognize his deployment of the concept of utility or his reduction of human motivation to self-interest, and perhaps a note on his discussion of the concept of diminishing marginal utility); and second, the manner in which he applies his concept of rationality to political economy. In section 2, the central thesis of the paper is presented: It is argued that an examination of his insights into the psychology of individual choice supplies good reasons to identify him as an intellectual godfather of behavioural economics. In keeping with the normativity of his concept of rationality, Bentham would maintain that the way in which traditional economics continues to ignore the gulf between its model of human decision-making and the facts of human psychology weakens its usefulness both as a science and as a guide to public policy. Bentham anticipated several modifications to the standard model (for instance loss aversion, the endowment effect, reference dependence, framing, the desire for cognitive ease, and status-quo bias) which have been introduced later by behavioural economics. Section 3 introduces two problems concerning the normativity of economics, the first of which, at least for Bentham, rests upon a false premise, while his substantive notion of rationality insulates him against the second.

This article explores the significance of mid-Victorian domestic embroidery, relying on resources from literature, essays, women’s magazines, paintings, and embroidered objects. Victorian embroidery can be difficult to understand for modern viewers. Although it was viewed as an ancient and prestigious craft, its practitioners were happy to rely on speedy execution, easy shortcuts, mass-produced materials and widely-circulated patterns.A reflection on time seems to transpire through these text-iles. The practice of embroidery staged a tension between historicity and modernity, allowing middle-class women to engage in modern modes of production while imagining themselves as aristocratic ladies of the past. Moreover, by circumventing the dominant print culture, it provided women with an alternative locus for expression with which to “write” their own narratives. In this sense, embroidered artefacts are discursive tools in their own right, providing material memories of women’s history. Finally, because they are intimately linked to the bodies and psyches of the women making them, these objects act as souvenirs, as receptacles for memories, providing, in Susan Stewart’s words, “a narrative of interiority and authenticity.”

Often when I tell people I volunteer at a cancer centre I get the response that most oncology nurses receive, “Isn’t that hard? And sad? Why do you volunteer there?” However, after two years of being a tea-cart volunteer, I have found that the main emotion expressed by both myself and the patients in our interactions is pure excitement over, yes, tea and cookies. When I started volunteering after my first year of nursing school, my volunteer hours piled up before my clinical hours. Therefore, volunteering was my first real interaction with cancer patients in the treatment setting.

Souvent, lorsque je dis que je suis bénévole dans un centre de cancérologie, on me pose les mêmes questions qu’aux infirmières en oncologie : « Ça doit être difficile? Et triste? Pourquoi avoir choisi cet endroit pour faire du bénévolat? » Deux ans après avoir commencé à passer bénévolement le chariot de la collation, j’ai cependant constaté que durant mes échanges avec les patients, l’émotion qui domine, à vrai dire, c’est notre enthousiasme commun pour le thé et les biscuits. Ayant commencé ce bénévolat après ma première année de baccalauréat en sciences infirmières, j’y ai accumulé plus d’heures jusqu’à présent que d’heures de travail clinique. C’est donc par là que j’ai vécu mes premiers vrais échanges dans un contexte de traitement avec des patients atteints de cancer.

I have frequently justified my participation in the printemps érable by addressing the structural forces, including the politico-economic climate in Québec, the legacy of strike action by students in Québec, and the global neoliberal project. But as my fingers find patches of skin, once blue with abrasions and inflamed with anger, I wonder how I arrived at my class consciousness. In this paper, I explore my involvement in the Quebec student protest movement through a political economic analysis of the proceedings, but consider how the inclusion of affect and embodiment theory can build on our understanding of why and how people engage in political activism and social movements. By combining these approaches, what can we learn about the affected body and political dissent? This exploration of affect and embodiment in the context of neoliberal structures of power does not exist in a vacuum, but draws on a significant body of research that seeks to place the personal within the political, the subjective within the system. While affect and political economy are distinct types of theoretical questions that lead to specific theoretical outcomes, I am interested in how these approaches might play together, and coexist in one academic pursuit. As such, this autoethnography is an exploration in how, we can bring in to dialogue a political economy analyses with an analysis of my phenomenological and deeply affected experience of the protest movement, and the visceral and continuous existence of my class consciousness and protest body.

As a third-year undergraduate nursing student, I once thought that leadership was something I would not be considering for years to come. As the recipient of the 2017 Student Travel Grant to attend the 29th Annual Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology (CANO) Conference in Gatineau, Ottawa, I found my understanding of nursing leadership changing throughout the conference. Because of the conference, I came to understand that an individual can begin to lay a foundation for leadership as early as undergraduate study. I also realized that most of my leadership development thus far has been possible thanks to the opportunities that CANO student membership has made available to me.

En tant qu’étudiante de troisième année de premier cycle en sciences infirmières, il m’a d’abord semblé que je n’aurais à aborder la notion de leadership que dans un futur lointain. Or, en 2017, une bourse étudiante m’a permis d’aller assister à la 29e conférence annuelle de l’Association canadienne des infirmières en oncologie (ACIO) à Gatineau-Ottawa, un moment qui m’a ouvert les yeux sur le leadership infirmier. J’ai réalisé qu’on pouvait s’y initier dès le début des études universitaires, et j’ai aussi compris que la plupart de mes expériences de leader à ce jour découlaient de mon adhésion étudiante à l’ACIO.

Este trabajo presenta la narración de cómo un método de investigación es útil tanto en sí mismo como para el alcance de los proyectos de investigación. A partir de los datos de contabilidad de los archivos de dos fábricas de cerveza alemanas -Löwenbräu y Spaten - durante el periodo 1929-1939, se construye una historia en el complejo contexto existente en el momento para la gestión de las empresas. Para ello nos basamos en lainformación de los estados financieros y elinforme del Consejo de Administración (Aufsichtsrat). El análisis revela razones interesantes relacionadas con el decreciente desempeño en general y a su vez, plantea varias cuestiones para futuras investigaciones en las dos fábricas de cerveza propuestas. Por lo tanto, podría decirse que, sin la construcción de la historia, tales cuestiones y áreas de interés potenciales no habrían sido identificadas. La metodología propuesta es útil para que los investigadores comprendan el alcance que pueden tener los proyectos de investigación a partir de datos contables a la vez que puede ser útil para establecer el contexto de los estudios de historia de la contabilidad y empresas.

Risk assessment-led characterisation of a site for the geological storage of CO2 in the UK northern North Sea was performed for the EU SiteChar research project as one of a portfolio of sites. Implementation and testing of the SiteChar project site characterisation workflow has produced a ‘dry-run’ storage permit application that is compliant with regulatory requirements. A site suitable for commercial-scale storage was characterised, compatible with current and future industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) sources in the northern UK. Pre-characterisation of the site, based on existing information acquired during hydrocarbon exploration and production, has been achieved from publicly available data. The project concept is to store captured CO2 at a rate of 5 Mt per year for 20 years in the Blake Oil Field and surrounding Captain Sandstone saline aquifer. This commercial-scale storage of 100 Mt CO2 can be achieved through a storage scenario combining injection of CO2 into the oil field and concurrent water production down-dip of the field. There would be no encroachment of supercritical phase CO2 for more than two kilometres beyond the field boundary and no adverse influence on operating hydrocarbon fields provided there is pressure management. Components of a storage permit application for the site are presented, developed as far as possible within a research project. Characterisation and technical investigations were guided by an initial assessment of perceived risks to the prospective site and a need to provide the information required for the storage permit application. The emphasis throughout was to reduce risks and uncertainty on the subsurface containment of stored CO2, particularly with respect to site technical performance, monitoring and regulatory issues, and effects on other resources. The results of selected risk assessment-led site characterisation investigations and the subsequent risk reassessments are described together with their implications for the understanding of the site. Additional investigations are identified that could further reduce risks and uncertainties, and enable progress toward a full storage permit application. Permit performance conditions are presented as SiteChar-recommended useful tools for discussion between the competent authority and operator.

This essay examines the cultural dynamics that were established at the outset of the Cold War, especially from the mid-1950s to mid-1960s, that dictated the translation and production of poetry on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In 1959 the Czech poet Jan Zábrana (1931–1984) translated and edited an anthology of radical American poets, and by exploring the contexts of his editorial decisions we uncover the above mentioned dynamics, also precipitating revaluations of American canon formation in this period. Zábrana’s difficulties and victories as a translator during the Cold War deeply influenced his own poetry, and I end with a consideration of two of his sonnets, by viewing them in a transnational context between anglophone and Russian poetry, arguing that their aesthetic achievement can only be fully appreciated by reference to the political context of the Cold War.

El objetivo de este artículo consiste analizar la adaptación o “transformación” de la novela de Rodolfo Usigli, Ensayo de un crimen (1944) llevada a cabo por Luis Buñuel en 1955. Con este fin, abordamos las últimas aportaciones teóricas en torno a la adaptación cinematográfica, que van más allá de la vieja dialéctica fidelidad/ infidelidad. A la vez, consideramos el papel de Buñuel dentro de la cinematografía mexicana. Dentro del análisis comparativo de los dos textos, examinamos las divergencias y convergencias que se producen en ambos al nivel de la historia y del discurso. Además, alojamos las dos obras en su contexto socio-histórico para investigar y contrastar el modo en el que cada una refleja a su manera dos épocas distintas de la historia de México en el siglo XX y dos visiones de la sociedad posrevolucionaria. Finalmente, observamos la manera en que el film de Buñuel reivindica el valor artístico de la fuente literaria. Abstract: This article aims to analyse Luis Buñuel’s adaptation or “transformation” of Rodolfo Usiglis’s novel “Ensayo de un crimen (“The Criminal Life of Archibaldo de la Cruz”) (1944) in 1955. Thus, we consider the most recent theoretical approaches to adaptation, which go beyond the traditional dialectic fidelity/infidelity. We also focus on Buñuel’s role within Mexican cinema. During the comparative analysis, we examine the differences and similarities between the two texts on the level of story and discourse. Moreover, we place both works in their social-historical context in order to discover and contrast the way in which each one reflects two different periods in Mexican history and two different visions of post- revolutionary society. Finally, we show how Buñuel’s film has contributed to the artistic prestige of the literary source.

The library and scientific professions were taken by surprise by the Harper government in late 2013 when it shuttered seven out of eleven Fisheries and Oceans Canada libraries, consigning much of these collections to dumpsters. Official explanations that the closures were undertaken to save taxpayers' dollars and that collections would be digitized were poorly-received, particularly when a memo marked "secret" obtained by Postmedia emerged in December indicating that the only articulated collections activity was "culling". Critics and activists have been quick to conclude that the library closures are a part of a wider and longer-term strategy to suppress Canadian science. This article goes further, suggesting that the government's actions in suppressing scientific and indigenous worldviews indicate no worldview of its own, only a handful of narrowly-defined "values" that will be incommensurate with the challenges facing Canada.

El objetivo de este artículo consiste en analizar la presencia de lo fantástico en la serie de televisión española, Hay alguien ahí (Cuatro, 2009-2010). Dentro de tres marcos conceptuales –la teoría literaria, el cine y la televisión– examinamos cómo el texto audiovisual en cuestión construye un mundo de ficción, reflejo de la realidad extratextual del espectador, para resquebrajarlo a continuación mediante el despliegue de un conjunto de motivos y temas relacionados con lo fantástico.

The "Shakespeare Authorship Question" regarding the identity of the poet-playwright has been debated for over 150 years. Now, with the growing list of signatories to the "Declaration of Reasonable Doubt", the creation of a Master's Degree program in Authorship Studies at Brunel University in London, the opening of the Shakespeare Authorship Research Studies Center at the Library of Concordia University in Portland, and the release of two competing high profile books both entitled Shakespeare Beyond Doubt, academic libraries are being presented with a unique and timely opportunity to participate in and encourage this debate, which has long been considered a taboo subject in the academy.

A close reading of both Library 2020 edited by Joseph Janes and Achieving Transformational Change in Academic Libraries by Stephen Mossop underscores the complexity of the forces converging on the world of libraries and information, and suggests it would be folly for any management strategy to fail to account for it. The approaches and content of the two books are compared and analyzed, and considered in terms of their ability to aid in understanding and planning for transformative change in libraries. Literature and theory from the discipline of city planning is suggested as a means of bridging the themes and arguments of both books.

Project Bamboo, a cyberinfrastructure initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, takes as its core mission the enhancement of arts and humanities research through the development of shared technology services. Rather than developing new tools for curating or analyzing data, Project Bamboo aims to provide core infrastructure services including identity and access management, collection interoperability, and scholarly data management. The longer-term goal is for many organizations and projects to leverage those services so as to direct their own resources towards innovative tool or collection development. In addition, Bamboo seeks to model a paradigm for tool integration that focuses on tools as discrete services (such as a morphology annotation service and a geoparser service, instead of a web-based environment that does morphological annotation and geoparsing) that can be applied to texts, individually or in combination with other services, to enable complex curatorial and analytical workflows. This paper addresses points of intersection between Project Bamboo and TEI over the course of Bamboo's development, including the role of TEI in Bamboo's ongoing development work. The paper highlights the significant contributions of the TEI community to the early development of the project through active participation in the Bamboo Planning Project. The paper also addresses the influence of TEI on the Bamboo Technology Project's collection interoperability and corpus curation/analysis initiatives, as well as its role in current (as of October 2012) development work.

The recent controversy over The Edwin Mellen Press lawsuit against McMaster University librarian Dale Askey is considered a symptom of a larger problem: the unsustainable demands from the academy itself which have created a market for publishers like Edwin Mellen. The overproduction of doctorates combined with the relentless demand faculties place upon their members to produce publishable research — as well as sometimes rigid gatekeeping of acceptable scholarship — have contributed to the creation of a lucrative market for “alternative” publishing venues — many of them of questionable quality and reputation. Until academic culture changes to admit fewer doctoral students and to judge quality over quantity when conducting tenure reviews, the market for academic publishing will only continue to grow, thereby presenting librarians with an increasingly complex collection management problem.

Introduction to Information Science by British information science professors David Bawden and Lyn Robinson is an exceedingly ambitious effort to offer an essentially definitive and catholic portrait of the discipline and its many professional manifestations. While exceedingly thorough and well-organized, the book could have benefited from a more critical stance on some of its subject matter. Accessible, comprehensive, far-reaching and offering an impressive overview of the relevant literature, Introduction to Information Science is an outstanding resource that will likely serve as the standard text for the foreseeable future.

The book Imagine Your Library’s Future: Scenario Planning for Libraries and Information Organizations by Steve O’Connor and Peter Sidorko is reviewed. In spite of its potential importance and timeliness, the book disappoints. While its core concepts might be more usefully presented as a journal article, as a full-length book it is found to be deficient in a number of key areas: its oversimplified portrayal of stakeholder consultation processes, use of confusingly-constructed exercises, uninformed social commentary and overall poor writing make it an inadequate tool for its intended purpose.

Micronutrient malnutrition is a serious public health problem among women and children in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal and the Philippines. Helen Keller International has been implementing homestead food production (HFP) programs (coupled with nutrition education) in these countries to increase and ensure year-round availability and intake of micronutrient-rich foods in poor households, particularly among women and children. Between 2003 and 2007, the HFP program was implemented among ~30,000 households in these four countries. Data collected from representative samples taken for evaluations of HFP programs in these countries illustrated the benefit of the program for households. Data were collected through interviews with households in villages that had the HFP program and from control households in non-HFP program villages. Blood samples collected from ~1000 children aged 6-59 months and ~1200 non-pregnant women before and after program implementation were analyzed for hemoglobin. The review showed that the HFP program significantly improved dietary diversification. The combined data from all four countries showed improved animal food consumption among program households, with liver consumption increasing from 24% at baseline to 46% at endline and the median number of eggs consumed by families per week increasing from 2 to 5. The sale of HFP products also improved household income. Anemia prevalence among children in program households decreased in all the countries; however, the decrease was only significant in Bangladesh and the Philippines. Although anemia prevalence also decreased among control households in three countries, the magnitude of change was higher in program households compared with control households.
