Modèle(s) de l’avenir ? Les revues épirevues en tant que tendance négligée et émergente dans la communication savante
No full textAbstract: Overlay journals, a potentially overlooked model of scholarly communication, have seen a resurgence due to the increasing number of preprint repositories and preprints on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related topics. Overlay journals at various stages of maturity were examined for unique characteristics, including whether the authors submitted their article to the journal, whether the peer reviews of the article were published by the overlay journal, and whether the overlay journals took advantage of opportunities for increased discovery. As librarians and researchers seek new, futuristic models for publishing, overlay journals are emerging as an important contribution to scholarly communication.Les revues épirevues, un modèle de communication scientifique souvent négligé, ont connu une résurgence en raison du nombre croissant de dépôts d’archivage numériques de prépublications et d’articles en prépublication sur des sujets liés à la COVID-19. Des épirevues ont été examinées à divers stades de leur maturité concernant diverses caractéristiques uniques : si les auteurs ont soumis leur article à la revue, si les révisions par les pairs de l’article ont été publiées par l’épirevue et si les épirevues ont profité des opportunités de découverte accrues. Alors que les bibliothécaires et les chercheurs cherchent de nouveaux modèles avant-gardistes pour l’édition savante, les épirevues émergent désormais comme étant une contribution importante à la communication savante
Revue Balzac, L’adaptation/Adaptation, n°6, 2023
No full textIl s’agit d’un compte-rendu de la Revue Balzac, le numéro spécial sur l’adaptation (bibliographie de fin de numéro l’atteste), qui se focalise sur diverses interprétations de ce qu’implique la réception et le jugement esthétique des adaptations ou bien ce que comporte une adaptation réussie, selon ceux qui les produisent. Les Illusions perdues et Eugénie Grandet sont au cœur de ces considérations sur les théories de l’adaptation, à cause des œuvres récentes de Xavier Giannoli et Marc Dugain.

Internationalization at Home: A Reflection on a Semester-Long Online Collaborative Project Between Canadian and Indian Students
No full textIn today’s global community, internationalization offers students a crucial advantage by developing their intercultural competence and global citizenship skills. Recent research on Internationalization at Home (IaH) has shown that students can benefit from this approach even without travelling. There has been minimal research conducted on how internationalization affects students’ attitudes towards environmental sustainability, which is another critical theme in our interconnected world. This study evaluates an IaH initiative’s impact on students’ environmental beliefs and values from Alberta, Canada, and Kerala, India.
As an IaH initiative, this project engaged students in online collaboration with students from a different world region. Participants worked collaboratively on four tasks and completed an individual reflection assignment. Student and faculty feedback shows that participants improved their knowledge of environmental issues and their commitment to environmental sustainability. Additionally, students also demonstrated stronger intercultural communication and global citizenship skills
A Domestic Cookbook: Containing A Careful Selection of Useful Recipes for the Kitchen: An Analysis of Malinda Russell’s Cookbook as an Indication of Black Knowledge and Agency
No full textMalinda Russell's cookbook A Domestic Cookbook: Containing A Careful Selection of Useful Recipes for the Kitchen was the first known Black cookbook to be published in the United States. Published in 1866 at the brink of the formative Reconstruction Period, Russell's personal testimony, recipes, ingredients, and methodology reflect a period when Black American agency was on the rise after the Civil War. Russell's cookbook can be used as a powerful tool to recognize and analyze Black Americans as victims of violence, Black literacy rates, and Black generational knowledge and agency
A Grounded Theory of Provider Perspectives Regarding Resident Moves from Permanent Supportive Housing
No full textTo address the ongoing supply-demand gap for permanent supportive housing (PSH), Moving On initiatives (MOIs) provide linkage to affordable housing without embedded support services and rental subsidies, as well as short-term transitional case management to support transitions to independent housing. PSH providers mediate outcomes for individuals moving on from PSH by providing appropriate supports and assistance. Yet, little is known about how providers view these moves. This study explores how providers perceive moves from PSH. Individual interviews were completed with PSH providers from seven U.S. agencies. Data was analyzed via a modified grounded theory approach. The data show that organizational support and prior experience with moving on shape providers’ perceptions of resident capacity. These perceptions were associated with gatekeeping and recovery-oriented approaches, which informed providers’ self-perceived role as following or leading residents towards moving on. System-level support and pressure to adopt a moving on mindset may lead more providers to promote independence and autonomy among individuals with histories of homelessness
Power Posing, Sensation Seeking and Risk Preference
No full textPast literature pertaining to power posing has identified it as a factor in risk preference and behaviour, although there have been difficulties in replicating these findings. Sensation seeking, a trait often associated with risk behaviour is examined in relation with power posing. A 2X2 factorial design for sensation seeking and power posing is used to analyse their influence on risk preference. A significant main effect for sensation seeking in risk preference was found, f (1, 28) = 20.46, p < .05, η²= .42. No main effect of power posing nor interaction between power posing and sensation seeking was found. Limitations and possible explanations for the lack of significant findings, as well as implications and possibilities for future research are discussed
