Abstract: Introduction: To explore the information seeking behavior of Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) and to investigate their exposure to libraries and library training in both their home countries and after being hired in Saskatchewan. Methods: This two-phase multi-method project was carried out in Saskatchewan, Canada. A questionnaire was developed based on survey instruments used in previously conducted studies on the topic. Librarians in two academic institutions assisted with validation of the survey. In Phase 1, data were collected via an online questionnaire from IENs in three health regions: Saskatoon, Regina, and Sunrise. In Phase 2, the study was expanded to IENs in all the health regions in the province. The same questionnaire from Phase 1 was used during telephone interviews with participants. Results: A total of 17 IENs responded (Phase 1, n = 9, Phase 2, n = 8). Results show that IENs, although interested in looking for information for their practice, are hindered by a lack of knowledge of how and where to seek relevant clinical information as well as a lack of library training. As a result, their main source of information is the Internet (Google). Discusion: Despite barriers such as time to information seeking, results revealed that given the opportunity IENs would like to receive library training to enhance their information seeking skills.

She inches glass to break: conversations between friends is a project that aims to manifest, through research and practice, my own feminist language within the videos I have produced in my final year of my Masters of Fine Arts. My feminist language is Australian and intersectional, invested in combating sexism, racism and in deepening language and representation around sexuality in relation to Asian women. This project discusses my video She inches glass to break (2018) in length, which created intersectional feminist dialogue in response to feminist filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger’s film Ticket of No Return (1979) and Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961). Additionally, given this project’s investment in language, this body of work is influenced both by aspects of psychoanalysis – in which speech is central to a “therapeutic action” – and by feminist linguistics in which linguistic analysis reveals some of the mechanisms through which language constrains, coerces and represents women, men and non-binary people in oppressive ways.

Since Chu T¡¦ien-wen was sixteen years old, she has been an important role in Taiwan literature. Chu T¡¦ien-wen has been influence by her parents and Zhang Ai-ling in Chinese literature for a long time. In the chinese ritual music cultur, she was educated under Hu Lan-cheng and became an author in the style of Zhang Qiang Hu Diao. Therefor, Chu T¡¦ien-wen and her sister Chu T'ien-hsin published San San magazine. However, after been through Nativist Literature Controversy and Hu Lan-cheng's death, she became a screenwriter for the movie, directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien and became one of the important participant of New Movie Movement in Taiwan. To face the problems of cross-srait relations and the visitions for the relatives, leading Chu T'ien-wen walk out military dependents' village and walk out San San and Grand View Garden, the style has also changed from San San ¢w¢w a young girl¡¦s fantasies style through growth theme of military dependents' village style and turned into the metropolis mature style. After Hu Lan-cheng passed away, Chu T'ien-wen swore to accomplish his unfinished ¡§ Woman Theory ¡¨ . To pass down the Female Writing of Woman Theory of Civilization, she decided to use ¡§ the Splendors of Fin de Siècle ¡¨ Notes of a Desolate Man and Words of a Witch. Hu Lan-cheng used to describe Chu T'ien-wen as a Japanese witch, and praised of the youth and beauty of her literature of art, which gives an inspiration to Chu T'ien-wen and to start a journey for witch. In ¡§ the Splendors of Fin de Siècle ¡¨ , giving Chu T¡¦ien-wen an advice as witch who predicted that patriarchal society were devastated. And in Notes of a Desolate Man that a desolate man who had feminine soul to offer Japanese witching dance for god. In Words of a Witch as witching word to fly from time and death that become unique to Chu T'ien-wen¡¦s Witched Writings.

Para contribuir com este objetivo, foi desenvolvido um sistema móvel de medições (SMMG-N) para melhor avaliar as taxas de dose gama e nêutrons geradas nessas práticas. Os resultados das. medições realizadas com este projeto, foram comparados com resultados obtidos por formas aleatórias de medições. Verificou-se com este estudo, que as monitorações realizadas com esse sistema reduziram as incertezas das medições, permitiram a padronização na forma de realizar os monitoramentos, além de facilitar o transporte dos monitores de radiação para as áreas. Esse estudo confirmou a necessidade de alterações no sistema de blindagens da câmara-alvo e caverna do KIPROS, para atender aos princípios de limitação de dose e otimização da radioproteção. / This works has arisen from the need of updating radiological protection procedures, creating new ones and training qualified personnel to perform radiological protection duties in a nuclear facility. The main purpose of the research was to assess and minimize gamma and neutron dose rates emitted during the produc.tion and handliing ofradiopharmaceuticals at IENlDlRA. A mobile measurements system (SMMG-N) was developed for on-site measurements. This system has proven to be more handy than the equipament formerly used for for this task. It has also proven to reduce the measurements uncertainties and to allow for the standardization of assessment procedures. He dose rates calculated using the data provided by this system have been compared with results obtained otherwise and good agreement was observed between them. This study has confirmed the need to improve the radiation shielding of KIPROS target-chamber and target vault in order to meet the radiological principIes of dose rate limitation and optimization.

This thesis seeks to interpret the cinematic representations of Hong Kongers’ identity quest during a transitional state/stage related to the sovereignty transfer. The Handover transition considered is an ideological one, rather than the overnight polity change on the Handover day. This research approaches contemporary Hong Kong cinema on two fronts and the thesis is structured accordingly: Upon an initial review of the existing Hong Kong film scholarship in the Introduction, and its 1997-related allegorical readings, Part I sees new angles (previously undeveloped or underdeveloped) for researching Hong Kong films made during 1982-2002. Arguments are built along the ideas of Hong Kongers’ situational, diasporic consciousness, and transformed ‘Chineseness’ because Hong Kong has lacked a cultural/national centrality. This part of research is informed by the ideas of Jacques Derrida, Homi Bhabha and Stuart Hall, and the diasporic experiences of Ien Ang, Rey Chow and Ackbar Abbas. With these new research angles and references to the circumstances, Part II reads critically the text of eight Hong Kong films made during the Handover transition. In chronological order, they are Boat People (Hui, 1982), Song of the Exile (Hui, 1990), Days of Being Wild (Wong, 1990), Happy Together (Wong, 1997), Made in Hong Kong (Chan, 1997), Ordinary Heroes (Hui, 1999), Durian Durian (Chan, 2000), and Hollywood Hong Kong (Chan, 2002). They meet several criteria related to the undeveloped / underdeveloped areas in the existing Hong Kong film scholarship. Hamid Naficy’s ‘accented cinema’ paradigm gives the guidelines to the film analysis in Part II. This part shows that Hong Kongers’ self-transformation during transition is alterable, indeterminate, and interminable, due to the people’s situational, diasporic consciousness, and transformed ‘Chineseness’. This thesis thus contributes to Hong Kong cinema scholarship in interpreting films with new research angles, and generating new insights into this cinematic tradition and its wider context.

L'étude porte sur la difficultés des enseignants de l'école élémentaire à intégrer les TICE dans leurs pratiques mathématiques.<br />Cette difficulté peut s'expliquer par les contraintes qu'ils rencontrent provenant à la fois d'influences externes à la classe, c'est-à-dire institutionnelles (Première partie) et de raisons internes à la classe (Deuxième partie).<br />Le cadre théorique est multi-dimensionnel : d'une part la théorie des situations didactiques et la théorie anthropologique développées respectivement par Brousseau et Chevalard, et d'autre part la dimension instrumentale en référence aux travaux de Trouche.<br />La caractérisation des éléments d'assujettissement auxquels sont soumis les enseignants dans différentes institutions et la distance qu'ils prennent avec ces contraintes ont permis de dégager des indicateurs sur les conditions d'intégration des TICE. <br />La dimension anthropologique en liaison avec la théorie des situations didactiques catégorisent les conditions d'implantation dans les classes à travers les usages et les pratiques des enseignants.<br />Ces usages sont porteurs de leurs conceptions d'une situation d'apprentissage des mathématiques. En introduisant les TICE, les enseignants se placent dans une situation de projet où leurs habitudes doivent être ré-interrogées (Assude), notamment sur les phases cruciales de dévolution et d'institutionnalisation. Cette dualité entre l'objet d'enseignement mathématique et l'instrument est une contrainte induisant des pratiques où l'influence de l'un sur l'autre ne peut pas être ignorée pour la réussite de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage. La reconnaissance de ce nouveau milieu où les enseignants vont devoir instrumenter l'outil informatique est déterminant pour la réussite de l'intégration.<br />L'observation de 36 séances de mathématiques intégrant des TICE met en évidence un “Auto‑apprentissage” des enseignants confrontés au problème de l'intégration des TICE.
