Dayal Kaur Khalsa: The art of remembering
No full textIn the space of three years in the late eighties, Dayal Kaur Khalsa wrote and illustrated a series of picture books that constitute a visual (auto)biography. In these books, Khalsa explores the meaning and reliability of memory, and the importance of family context in life history. By evoking popular culture and its artifacts in her illustrations, Khalsaprovides afully realised, time-specific world for her character May to inhabit. Furthermore, through the device of self- referential visual quotations, by means of which characters and settings reappear from book to book, Khalsa creates a form of "visual intertextuality" unique in the canon of Canadian picture books.Peer reviewedfinal article publishe
Rupi Kaur: Women’s Writing Tradition in Translation
No full textThis paper will present a brief background of the author, Rupi Kaur, and her artistic work, focusing in her poetry. The book approached is Honey and Milk, and it will be analysed though the feminist criticism theory of Elaine Showalter in order to discuss the poetry of Kaur in the context of the third phase of women’s writing. To achieve that, this paper will discuss some selected poetry and some details about the translation of the book to the Portuguese Brazilian language and the rewriting entailed in the process of translation
Determination and potential importance of diterpene (kaur-16-ene) emitted from dominant coniferous trees in Japan
No full textReactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to affect atmospheric chemistry. Biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) have a significant impact on regional air quality due to their large emission rates and high reactivities. Diterpenes (most particularly, kaur-16-ene) were detected in all of the 205 enclosure air samples collected over multiple seasons at two different sites from Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa trees, the dominant coniferous trees in Japan,. The emission rate of kaur-16-ene, was determined to be from 0.01 to 7.1 μg dwg^[-1] h^[-1] (average: 0.61 μg dwg^[-1] h^[-1]) employing branch enclosure measurements using adsorbent sampling followed by solid phase-liquid extraction techniques. The emission rate was comparable to that of monoterpenes, which is known major BVOC emissions, collected from the same branches. In addition, total emission of kaur-16-ene at 30℃ was estimated to exceed that of total anthropogenic VOC emissions

No full textHospitals play an instrumental role in the life of the individuals, and they are a crucial part of healthcare system. Healthy homes and communities are widely acknowledged as foundation stones for the progress of any nation. Basically, they ensure its economic growth as well as internal stability. World Health Organization stressed that “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Good health and well-beings have always been a forefront agenda of national and international policy agendas. Goal 3 of Sustainable Development Goals, 2015 aims to “increase life expectancy, reduce maternal and child mortality and fight against communicable diseases”. In case of non-communicable disease, there are four major disease – cardiovascular, cancers, severe respiratory diseases and diabetes
A randomized control study comparing outcomes in student nurses who utilize video during simulation debriefing as compared to those who utilize traditional debriefing
No full textClinical placement sites for nursing students have become limited around the country. An alternative teaching strategy must be employed to allow for students to gain valuable knowledge and skills. High fidelity human patient simulation is one such strategy that allows students to safely practice nursing interventions in a controlled environment using a scenario. Students participate in groups and may be video recorded for replay during the debriefing session, the most essential learning element of the simulation session. Students watching a video recording of their participation in the scenario allow them to reflect on their own actions to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. The research question for this study was the following: what are the effects of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral debriefing on student outcomes (clinical judgment, self-confidence, learner satisfaction scores with simulation and learner satisfaction scores with the simulation facilitator) of associate degree nursing students in their second year of nursing school? A randomized control design was employed to test the research question using a sample of 74 students. Students were randomized into either a video assisted debriefing group and an oral assisted debriefing group. The debriefing sessions were structured for each group with the only difference being the video assisted debriefing group watched the recording of their videotaped simulation session. Results included higher self-reported clinical judgment, learner satisfaction scores with the simulation, and learner satisfaction with the debriefing facilitator. Findings from this study support the use of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral assisted debriefing after a simulation session. Debriefing should be a highly structured part of simulation allowing for students to learn and develop important cognitive and behavioral skills. Video debriefing is an important component of simulation that allows for improved student outcomes.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Tresa Kaur Dusa
The ROLE OF THEATRE AND FOLK MEDIA IN PROMOTING SOCIAL
No full textThe three classic works of art that have had a significant impact on human culture are theatre, music, and dance. They\u27re making expressions that have a mind-boggling effect on people. Local varieties of correspondence with its roots in the country\u27s social act are frequently referred to as customary media. In India, theatre should have started with celestial creatures. The basic fascinating description was taught by Brahma himself. According to the most well-prepared preferred texts, it appears that in heaven, some time before the world was created, when adequate and misleading existed side by side, the heavenly creatures struggled and extinguished the abominable existences. Brahma indicated that the heavenly beings repeat the combat among themselves in order to dazzle both the eye and the ear in celebration of this victory. Traditional media, like theatre, demand massive believability and impact. They are the most effective means of influencing the traditional Indian mindset toward modernization. They enlighten, educate, and enthral the majority. Folk media, truth be told, can be used to express the true notions of the new communication frameworks and to prepare the majority sincerely to accept the electronic media once they are fully operationa
What the Body Remembers: A Feminist Study
No full textA woman is a beautiful creation of God. It is difficult to imagine a world without a woman. A female counterpart gives a remarkable contribution in all the spheres of the life. Even behind many successful men, there are women. A woman can be a mother, wife, sister or a daughter. There are many roles played by a woman in the life of a man and her existence can be negated in his life. She makes many sacrifices for her family. She is an embodiment of sacrifices and love. But in this materialistic world, the menfolk consider women only in their practical utility. The wants of men have been whittled down the personality of the women and put all sorts of pressure on a woman to control her individuality. In this manner, the position of women in society is deteriorating. There is a need to change the perception of the patriarchal society. Feminism is a term which can help the women to get their deserved place. This paper discusses the plight and agonies of Sikh women during India Pakistan partition. It aims at promoting equalization of women by addressing their discrimination in their individual needs by healthy coping with society. Feminist approach is applied on Sauna Singh Baldwin\u27s novel ‘What the Body Remembers\u27. This book won 2000 Commonwealth Writers\u27 Prize for Best Book. In this novel, she used the language of vernacular Punjabi. This book is written from women perspective. It represents the lives of Sikh women during partition. This novel also dictates the chaos during the partition of India and Pakistan. This novel can be better interpreted through feminist approach. 
Awareness of rural women of Punjab regarding pollution causing and environmentally safe waste disposal practices
No full textHousehold waste disposal practices are main source of pollution. Rural folk dispose their waste in open areas due to lack of awareness about their consequences. Some practices were identified to check their awareness about these practices. The present study was conducted to find out the awareness regarding pollution causing and environmentally safe waste disposal practices in three regions of Punjab i.e. Majha, Malwa and Doaba. For this purpose, 240 rural women of district Gurdaspur, Hoshiarpur and Ludhiana were selected. Data were collected through interview schedule. The study findings revealed that large majority of respondents (91.67 per cent) were aware regarding open drainage of water is source of pollution followed by 87.33 per cent regarding burning of waste and plastic in open air causes pollution. Data regarding environmentally safe waste disposal practices showed that large majority of respondents were aware that selling of electrical waste (90%), disposal in closed container (87.08 %) and faecal matter disposal in pakka pits (80%) are safe disposal practices for environment. About eighty per cent of respondent had high level of awareness. Age, education, mass media exposure, family education and family size were significantly correlated with level of awareness. Although the women had awareness about pollution causing practices but they don’t know the alternatives and management strategies to control pollution
