From Early Migrations to Colonial Encounters: Archaeological Research on the Mannar-Jaffna Seaboard, Sri Lanka
Full text linkThe Mannar-Jaffna Seaboard (MJS), a region that played a critical role in Sri Lanka\u27s past, has seen over 150 years of archaeological research. While recent research programs employing advanced scientific techniques have been implemented, significant knowledge gaps persist. A comprehensive approach is needed to synthesize the archaeological past from prehistoric times to the recent colonial period. This review highlights some research questions emerging from previous studies advocating for further exploration. Since the MJS possesses an intertwined history with its coastal settings and resources, this article’s main focus is on understudied sites and periods to enhance the knowledge on coastal archaeological studies of Sri Lanka. Revisiting overlooked publications and addressing challenges such as data management and research integrity are crucial to gaining a more complete understanding of this region\u27s complex past. This comprehensive compilation encompasses all known works on the MJS, serving as an essential resource for future researchers to build upon
Editorial: Volume 4(1)
Full text linkThis sixth issue of Imagining SoTL consists of a final set of papers based on presentations at the 2022 Symposium for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, with a theme of “A Decade of Imagining SoTL: Looking Back, Looking Ahead.” This was our first in-person conference since the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was good to be together. This issue follows our December issue, Volume 3(2). Here, we present the remaining responses to our call for contributors to develop their Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) presentations from the conference
Wellbeing and Burnout of Nurses Undergoing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Education Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Full text linkBackground: Burnout is defined as work-related emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment. Sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) may be at increased risk for burnout. Wellbeing practices protect against burnout. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wellbeing and burnout of nurses undergoing education to become SANEs, considering the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Data were from the SANE Wellbeing Study offered in conjunction with a SANE education program. The SANE Wellbeing Survey included the Nurse Wellbeing Self-Assessment (NWSAT), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and General Self-Efficacy (GSE) scale. Backward stepwise regression was used to identify factors that predicted NWSAT wellbeing scores. Results: A total of 68 nurses participated; most were female, white/non-Hispanic, bachelor’s-prepared, and worked in non-rural settings. About two-thirds completed the SANE Wellbeing Survey prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher MBI Emotional Exhaustion and PSS scores were associated with lower wellbeing on some NWSAT domains. Working in an emergency department as their primary setting, working in a rural hospital, and lower education level were associated with lower scores on some wellbeing domains. Nurses who completed the survey during the pandemic had lower MBI Personal Accomplishment, CD-RISC, and GSE scores, and higher PSS scores. Conclusion: Nurses who self-select to become SANEs may have good baseline wellbeing and low burnout. Implications for Clinical Forensic Nursing Practice: Strategies to promote wellbeing and prevent burnout after beginning SANE practice can support a healthy SANE workforce and prevent attrition

Traduction de la poésie mystique : le non-dit et le déjà-dit dans la note du traducteur
Full text linkLa poésie mystique persane, qui remonte au XIIIe siècle, est particulièrement riche et diverse, et sa traduction a toujours été au centre des préoccupations de nombreux traducteurs occidentaux. Ce genre de poésie, sans compter les figures de style, englobe différents aspects de l’Orient, notamment la philosophie, l’éthique, l’histoire, l’interprétation et la culture. Par conséquent, la traduction de la poésie mystique persane requiert un plus haut degré d\u27explicitation que la traduction d\u27autres genres littéraires. Parmi les procédés d’explicitation de la pratique traduisante, la note du traducteur (N.d.T.) apparaît comme le plus critiqué. Ce paratexte nourrit des polémiques qui se constituent tant autour de sa raison d’être, voire de sa nécessité, qu’autour de son économie, voire de son efficacité. La traduction française de Mantiq at-Tayr de Joseph Héliodore Garcin de Tassy (1794-1878), orientaliste et traducteur français, comporte de nombreuses notes du traducteur. Cet article tente d’étudier et d’évaluer les enjeux posés au travers de ces notes
Guerre, folie et écriture : la métaphorisation du trauma colonial dans Les jardins de cristal de Nadia Ghalem
Full text linkLes jardins de cristal (1981) de Nadia Ghalem nous donne l’occasion de comprendre et d’apprécier les modalités d’écriture du trauma colonial dans une mise en texte de la guerre qui l’évoque sans la représenter directement. En effet, ce roman fait remonter à la surface le trauma enfoui dans la mémoire collective de la guerre d’indépendance algérienne au moyen d’une structure narrative et de procédés textuels privilégiant la polyphonie. La dimension intertextuelle de ce roman souligne également la remontée vers la conscience de ce qui a été réprimé ou refoulé. C’est au moyen de cette approche dialogique que Ghalem dans Les jardins de cristal nous propose une réflexion sur les relations complexes entre la guerre, la folie et l’écriture
Implementation and Evaluation of Online Life Skills Training Modules for Therapy Assistant Students at a Canadian College
Full text linkLike all college students, therapy assistant students may face challenges in daily living skills, such as money management, time management, and healthy meal preparation, which may negatively impact their academic and practicum success. Therapy assistant students face the added challenge of working on life skills with clients, and, as a result, students’ own life skills may affect their success in clinical encounters. Few life skills training programs exist for post-secondary students, and we were unable to find any for therapy assistant students.
This study is the third phase of a larger research project that developed, implemented, and evaluated life skills training modules for therapy assistant students. Life skills training modules were offered online to therapy assistant students at a Canadian college to explore whether life skills training increased students’ knowledge, self-rated competence in occupations, and self-efficacy related to personal life skills. Findings revealed that students’ knowledge quiz scores significantly improved, and students rated the modules positively in respect to learning and satisfaction. No significant change was detected in students’ Occupational Self Assessment (OSA) scores. Online life skills training modules may be beneficial for therapy assistant students to increase their knowledge about life skills and meet identified needs
