Comics and dementia care: I know how this ends and graphic medicine
No full textPresented at the DC Research Café (May 14, 2020). Peter Wilkins presents the Douglas College Dementia Comics project which explores the potential of comics to enhance the impact of dementia care research. I Know How This Ends is the second volume in a series that started with Parables of Care: Creative Responses to Dementia Care (2017). This comic book presents, in synthesized form, stories crafted from narrative data collected via interviews with professional caregivers, educators, and staff at Douglas College in Vancouver, Canada, who have cared for relatives and people with dementia in hospital. The intention of the book is to show the importance of feeling in care-giving, the professional aspects of which are sometimes at odds with the family systems aspect of dementia.

Leon Caron and the music profession in Australia
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 2003 Bonnie Jane Smart.Leon Francis Victor Caron (1850-1905) was one of the major figures in Australian nineteenth-century opera and orchestral circles. He was a well-known and well-liked public figure, regarded with respect and affection by musicians and audiences alike. Little has been written concerning Caron’s career. Given the amount he contributed to the Australian stage, an assessment of his importance within the music profession is warranted. Most areas of Caron’s life are, as yet, totally unexplored; it falls outside the ambit of this thesis to present every detail pertaining to his varied and extensive musical career. Nevertheless, new information about a selection of Caron’s ventures is drawn upon here for the first time. Much of this material is used to examine the impact of Caron’s conducting on the orchestral profession in Melbourne and Sydney. Many of Caron’s performances (orchestral or otherwise) often featured the popular music of the day. The popular aspect of Caron as a composer is also considered, with particular reference to the incredibly successful pantomime Djin Djin. An examination of Caron’s performances gives great insight not only into the part he played in the wider profession; but it also sheds light on orchestral standards, performance practices and public tastes of the time. His contribution to the music profession in nineteenth-century Australia is extremely significant
Quelle guerre raconter ? Le dilemme du légionnaire Paul Caron
No full textCet article propose de revisiter le rapport du Canada français à la Grande Guerre à travers l’étude d’un témoignage singulier : celui du journaliste Paul Caron, enrôlé dans la légion étrangère en 1914. Anti-impérialiste affiché, le légionnaire a produit une série de lettres du front que l’on retrouve sous forme de chroniques dans Le Devoir et dans Le Peuple de Montmagny entre 1914 et 1917. En se mettant lui-même dans la peau d’un poilu canadien-français, l’auteur propose un récit cathartique qui reflète davantage l’ambivalence de ses semblables face au conflit en cours que le refus d’y participer. À cet égard, ses écrits nous renseignent peut-être moins sur la guerre elle-même que sur le défi d’en rendre compte — que laisser transpirer de l’horreur des tranchées? — tout en respectant l’horizon d’attente de ses lecteurs, notamment des nationalistes — quelle guerre leur raconter? Caron produit ainsi un artefact qui, au-delà des faits rapportés, révèle le poids et la complexité du cadre de référence culturel à travers lequel lui et ses contemporains, tant anglo que franco-canadiens, tentent de donner un sens à la guerre.This article re-examines French Canada’s relationship with the Great War through a particular account: that of the journalist Paul Caron who enrolled in the Foreign Legion in 1914. A well-known anti-imperialist, the legionnaire wrote a series of letters from the front that were published in columns of the newspapers Le Devoir and Le Peuple de Montmagny between 1914 and 1917. By assuming the character of a French-Canadian “poilu”, the author offers a cathartic account which underlines the ambivalence of his fellow French-Canadians towards the ongoing conflict, rather than their refusal to participate in it. In this respect, his writings tell us less about the war than they do about the challenge to report it — what part of the horrors of the trenches to disclose? — all the while trying to respect his readers’ expectations, particularly those of the nationalists — what war to tell? More than a mere factual report, the artefact produced by Caron reveals the burden and complexities of the cultural framework by which he and his contemporaries, whether they be English or French-Canadians, try to make sense of the war
Re: Caron et al. (2021) sociocultural context and autistics quality of life: A comparison between Quebec and France
No full text\ua9 The Author(s) 2021. The purpose of this letter to the editors is to highlight to the readership of Autism the recommended use of the Autism Quality of Life measure for research with autistic adults. The Autism Quality of Life was developed for use alongside the WHOQoL-BREF and WHO Disabilities module. The letter raises some concerns about the use of the Autism Quality of Life as a stand-alone measure in a recent study by Caron et al. published in Autism

Direct magnetocaloric characterization and simulation of thermomagnetic cycles
No full textn experimental setup for the direct measurement of the magnetocaloric effect capable of simulating high frequency magnetothermal cycles on laboratory-scale samples is described. The study of the magnetocaloric properties of working materials under operative conditions is fundamental for the development of innovative devices. Frequency and time dependent characterization can provide essential information on intrinsic features such as magnetic field induced fatigue in materials undergoing first order magnetic phase transitions. A full characterization of the adiabatic temperature change performed for a sample of Gadolinium across its Curie transition shows the good agreement between our results and literature data and in-field differential scanning calorimetry.RST/Radiation, Science and TechnologyApplied Science

Disobedience in the Military ::Legal and Ethical Implications /
No full textWe often think of the army as an institution whose members are required to blindly obey all orders they receive. However, this perception is inaccurate. Disobedience is a fundamental professional obligation of members of the military and overrides the obligation to follow commands. But what is the extent of this obligation? Are soldiers obligated to participate in what they consider to be an illegal war, or should they be allowed to enjoy a right to selective conscientious objection? Should soldiers obey a legal order that, if followed, would facilitate the perpetration of war crimes by a third party? How should soldiers act if they are ordered to follow a lawful order that could result in immoral consequences? Should soldiers be allowed to refuse to obey what can be labeled as suicidal orders? Based upon the nature of soldiers' professional obligations, this book tries to offer answers to these important questions. The author turns to a number of different case-studies, including conscientious objections, duty to protect in genocidal situations such as Rwanda and Srebrenica, suicidal orders in wars, as well as retribution and leniency towards war criminals, as a way of assessing the different legal and ethical implications of disobedience in the military. Jean-François Caron is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan, where he teaches Political Theory
