Sources and development of the Kalevala as an example for the quantitative analysis of literary editions and sources

This paper describes ongoing work to quantitatively analyse the development of the Finnish national epic Kalevala. The analysis targets both the oral poetry sources used and the development of the final edition through multiple preparatory publications and manuscripts. In terms of methodological development, the paper relates to prior research on how to visualise relations between texts. However, the particular nature of oral poetry and the editing process at play here precludes using the established methods directly, leading instead to the development of complementary approaches.

Science Diplomacy as Assessed by Heads of Representative Offices of the Russian Federation in Switzerland

Introduction. The article analyses the relevant content of the “science diplomacy” concept and describes the key trends of its implementation, taking into account the points of view of current Russian diplomats on the problem. Science diplomacy is becoming a relevant area of diplomatic activity under the conditions of modern globalization processes. As an important area of the activity of the state, it implies not only the establishment of effective science cooperation with other countries but also optimal use of its own scientific potential with a view to upholding the national interests and improving the image of the state. Methods and materials. The authors have reviewed a number of expert points of view from modern researchers. Based on the use of general and special scientific methods, some important conclusions have been drawn concerning the specifics of the development and relevant content of science diplomacy. By comparing and systematising the empirical data obtained from a number of sources, some scientifically significant directions of state activity in this area have been determined. Analysis. By summarising cases from diplomatic practice, the authors seek to determine the role of science diplomacy in the implementation of the current foreign policy tasks of the Russian Federation. According to the results of interviews with S.V. Garmonin, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation in the Swiss Confederation, and A.B. Dorovskikh, Consul General of Russia in Geneva, the basic principles of the practical filling of the “science diplomacy” concept in the activities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are formulated. Results. The authors come to the conclusion about the consistent improvement of the forms and methods of implementing the scientific direction of Russian diplomacy. At the same time, against the background of a deterioration of the international environment and the politicisation of many areas of international cooperation by the countries of the collective West, there exists the task of further improving the effectiveness of the activities of Russian diplomatic structures to defend the scientific and technological sovereignty of the country. Authors’ contribution. E.A. Antyukhova wrote the sections “Introduction” and “Results,” participated together with V.D. Olshanskaya in writing the section “Materials and Methods,” and prepared the final scientific edition of the text of the work. I.V. Kuznetsov developed the concept of the article and the questionnaire for the interview. V.D. Olshanskaya and E.A. Antyukhova wrote the sections “Analysis” and “Materials and Methods” and also acted as an interviewer.

Changes in the translator’s position on the author and readers

Abstract This study explores the evolving perspectives of a Korean feminist translator through a detailed analysis of translatorial peritexts in three editions of Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas. The first edition is a heavily edited translation tailored for uninitiated readers, featuring omissions of Woolf’s voluminous notes and additions such as chapter summaries and glossaries. The second edition includes a postface written as a letter to Woolf, where the translator critiques Woolf’s feminism and suggests postcolonial feminism as a better framework for Korean women. The final edition is a full translation with an introduction and notes from a renowned scholar, where the translator refrains from critiquing Woolf, focusing instead on expanding Woolf’s ideas and the scholar’s commentary. This study reveals various aspects of paratextuality, such as the variability of translatorial peritexts, tensions between authorial text and translatorial peritext, and the relation of the translator’s peritexts to their perceptions of the author and readers.

Adventures in Tonal Gravity: George Russell’s Analysis of Maurice Ravel’s “Forlane”

Abstract George Russell conceptualized his Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization as a theory of tonality. He includes an analysis of the opening of Maurice Ravel’s “Forlane” from Le Tombeau de Couperin in the fourth and final edition of his text to demonstrate what his theory—“The Concept”—offers for the analysis of Western art music. This article takes Russell’s claim seriously, discusses The Concept as a theory of tonality, and extends Russell’s analysis to the entirety of “Forlane.” I also connect Russell’s work to broader Black cultural practices and their socio-political resonances.

Celebrating 100 years of Cope’s Early Diagnosis of the AcuteAbdomen

BackgroundNo list of the iconic books in surgery would be complete without The Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen by Sir Vincent Zachary Cope, MS, MD. First published in 1921, few books have stood the test of time like this treatise on the acute abdomen. It is also fitting that, after Mr Cope’s passing, William Silen would assume the mantle with the 15th edition and maintain his legacy work through the 22nd and final edition. MethodsEach edition of The Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen and The Acute Abdomen in Rhyme was curated and reviewed in detail within the historical context of the era in which the book was printed. ResultsThe tenets of physical diagnosis and history did not change during the 100 years through the current printing; however, the emphasis on related medical diseases evolved due to antibiotic therapy and the prevalence of nonsurgical diseases that evolved across this period. Early editions highlighted the value of plain radiography as it came into common use, whereas later editions included cross-sectional imaging as a valuable diagnostic tool. ConclusionThe context and evolution of this masterpiece are fundamental to the legacy of the abdominal surgeon. Cope’s lessons on the value of dedication and attention to detail to formulate clinical diagnoses by engaging with the patient rather than excessive use of laboratory testing and imaging still apply in today’s rapidly evolving and increasingly value-based world.

UKRAINIAN AVANGARD IN THE COVERS OF VASYL YERMILOV

Vasyl Yermilov played a significant role in Valerian Polishchuk’s literary and artistic group Avangard, which was part of the Ukrainian artistic avant-garde. A series of covers for publications of the Avangard group, designed by Yermilov in the second half of the 1920s, is highlighted as a turning point in the development of modernism in Ukraine. Yermilov’s design style is characterized by constructivism, a movement that emphasizes geometric forms and rationality, and at the same time is distinguished by unconventional polychromy. The article emphasizes the geometric dominant in Yermilov’s typography and highlights the iconographic triad: a red rectangle, a black circle, and an accented letter. Yermilov’s connection with futurism, felt in his typography, is considered: despite the rejection of serifs in constructivism, their traces can be seen in the unusual plume of the letter “a”. The symbolism of the color red in typography is studied, from the point of view of its association with Soviet ideology and claims to imperial power; the dynamic and abstract qualities of the symbols used by Yermilov are discussed. The typography of the publications of the Avangard group appears as a reflection of the dramatic events in Ukraine at the end of the 1920s, in particular the Red Terror and the attack on the Ukrainian elite. The article analyzes a number of Yermilov covers for the group’s publications from the point of view of composition and symbolism, where the evolution of individual elements is traced. The culmination and transformation takes place in the sketch for the cover of the second issue of the magazine Avangard, where the letter “a” attacks the red rectangle “on the stage” illuminated by the black disk of the eclipse, the inverted sun of the avant-garde, which appeals to the “black sails of time” from V. Khlebnikov’s Manifesto, signed by the Kharkiv bohemians in 1916. The final edition of the third issue of the Kharkiv group’s magazine is perceived as a victory over the red rectangle, but at the cost of the loss of the Logos. The analysis of this typography series represents the changing dynamics and symbolic power of the avant-garde movement in this period, emphasizing the specificity of Ukrainian constructivism in its paradoxical connections with suprematism, visualized in the creative legacy of Vasyl Yermilov.

Constrained by poverty: Richard Relhan’s botanical fieldwork in Cambridgeshire, 1781–1820

Most records in the successive editions of the Rev. Richard Relhan’s Flora Cantabrigiensis (1785, 1802, 1820) and its supplements (1786, 1788, 1793a) are not attributed to recorders, and consequently the contribution of Relhan himself to these works has never been clear. In this paper I use Relhan’s statements in his surviving correspondence to identify the records that can plausibly be attributed to him. His hitherto neglected records of algae, fungi and lichens add significantly to the information provided by those of vascular plants and bryophytes. Taken together, they indicate that Relhan’s fieldwork was largely restricted to areas he could visit on foot from his home town, Cambridge, with rather few excursions to more distant parts of the county. His repeated references to his poverty show that this was the main constraint on his fieldwork. He visited some favourite sites near Cambridge repeatedly, especially Gogmagog Hills and Madingley. Although his published works make no reference to environmental change in the county, he did react to the enclosure and drainage of the species-rich wetland Hinton Moor by replacing the records in the final edition of his Flora by substitutes from two similar sites, Shelford Moor and Sawston Moor.

President’s Introduction

President’s Introduction Hilary Levine, PhD, CGP, President of EGPS Dear Reader, I am excited that after a period of transition and renewal, a new and improved GROUP journal has been born. It takes a well-coordinated team of people to publish a quarterly journal, and we are fortunate to have had such a dedicated group of people working on GROUP. Recently, several of those people have retired from their roles. I’d like to thank Jonah Schwartz, Erica Gardner-Schuster, and Brunhild Kring for their many years of service to the journal. Contemporaneously, the Board of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society (EGPS) has been examining and amending the ways that we have historically centered the experiences of White professionals in private practice. Our newly revised organizational mission reflects our steadfast commitment to being a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive organization. The practice of using groups for healing exists on a much broader scale than what has typically been the focus of EGPS’s programming and training. This bias has influenced not only who we attracted as members but also who was interested in writing for and reading our journal. Over the past several months, we have been reimagining and updating how our journal functions to restore our publication to a quarterly journal that serves a broader community of group practitioners. I am grateful to Christine Schmidt for leading this reimagining process. One result was the creation of a mission statement for the journal that is in alignment with our organizational mission. We have strengthened our vision to reflect the unique offerings our journal can bring to group work in an increasingly diverse field. GROUP is a quarterly journal that publishes articles and reviews on the use of groups in the service of healing. The journal encourages creative thought and dissemination of knowledge about group processes and welcomes multiple theoretical orientations, contexts, purposes, and ideologies. Aspiring to be intentionally antioppressive to all people, GROUP seeks to advance scholarship that exemplifies respect for the historical [End Page 7] and current contexts, needs, values, and strengths of cultures, races, and genders typically under- and misrepresented in postcolonial literature. The journal invites articles that integrate perspectives from social work, psychology, politics, sociology, history, the arts, economics, health care, education, and organizational dynamics. Although the journal focuses primarily on the application and experience of group process and practice, GROUP also publishes relevant research articles. Continuously published since 1976, GROUP is the journal of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society, a regional affiliate of the American Group Psychotherapy Association. In addition, a search committee, led by Christine Schmidt and Vinny Dehili, was formed to create a new editorial team. I am delighted to announce that after an expansive search for qualified editors, we welcome Dr. Jessica Jean Baptiste and Dr. Marty Cooper to the helm as coeditors of GROUP. They will be joined by a robust and active editorial team to recruit writers and review articles. As our new team gets up and running, rather than putting out four issues this year, we will instead be producing two double issues, 47.1–2 and 47.3–4. Beginning in 2024, we plan to issue four separate quarterly issues. Another change to GROUP is that we have decided to cease production of print editions and to go entirely digital. Please note that this will be the final print edition of GROUP. As always, we welcome potential authors and encourage consultation with the editors about ideas that could be developed into an article. Submitted material receives blind review by scholars and practitioners in the field who serve on the editorial board, although final decisions rest with the editors. For more information, see page 6 or contact info@egps.org. Thank you for your patience during this transition. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this double issue of GROUP.

SAJIE 34 Vol 4

2023 has come to an end. In the previous two years’ final editions of the journal, I commented on the disruptions of COVID and how our discipline had to adjust and adapt to make success of the journal. 2023 brought new challenges. Our electricity supply is still intermittent and causing severe damage to our economy. Severe backlogs in our harbours and rail networks are hampering the logistical flow in the country. But, with these challenges come new opportunities, and Industrial Engineers can again contribute to finding the solutions! As mentioned at the end of 2017, it is now customary to evaluate how the journal is performing. Scopus (www.scopus.com) measures impact with a “CiteScore” and the graph in Figure 1 (extracted from Scopus on 14 December 2023) shows the trend over the last five years. The CiteScore for a year is calculated as the Citation Count for the year divided by the number of documents published in the previous three years. The Citescore for 2020 was 1.2 (measured May 2021), and the Citescore for 2022 is slightly higher at 1.4. Our ranking concerning the Percentile in the category is currently stable as a Q3 journal. Another important source for journal standing is Scimago Journal and Country Rank (www.scimagojr.com) where this journal is also listed as a Q3 journal in the “Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering” subject area. It is very encouraging to observe how the number of citations has grown (Figure 2). (For figures, refer to the online PDF) Due to timing constraints, we did not include the top-rated papers from the RAPDASA conference in the 3rd edition of the year. This edition therefore contains the top 4 rated papers from the RAPDASA conference (30 October to 2 November). This edition has a total of 12 articles, with 11 from authors with South African connections and the balance from international authors.

SCALE VALIDATION FOR TEACHER EDUCATOR’S CONCEPTIONS ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION CLASSROOM

The aim of this research was to validate a scale to assess teacher educators' views and challenges on teaching for social justice. To develop and operationalize the initial item pool, a comprehensive examination of the relevant literature was done. The quantitative scale addressed the basic values of social justice. Democracy, diversity and equity are the core values of social justice. 58 items were drafted initially and sent for experts’ opinions. After their feedback, eight unnecessary and unclear items were removed from the tool. For the scale, a total of 50 items were finalized, divided into four domains: 24 items under democracy, 6 under diversity, 10 under equity and 10 regarding challenges. The scale was given to 60 teacher educators from four public sector universities via a survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were used to verify the scale's validity and reliability statistically. The loading values for the factors ranged from .897 to 0.521. The pooled items were reduced by 05 items, resulting in a total of 50 items in the final edition. The completed scale demonstrates appropriate reliability and validity across social justice value criteria. This scale, in theory, can help identify the obstacles of addressing social justice in higher education classrooms. The scale for teacher educators' concepts of teaching for social justice could be useful in determining how social justice values are practiced in higher education classrooms.

Development and validation of an educational information web page for family members with relatives in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

AimThis paper describes the development and validation of an educational information web page designed for family members who have relatives in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). BackgroundFamily members with relatives in the ICU always encounter a stressful experience. Hence, healthcare providers play a crucial in educating and alleviating the psychological distress experienced by family members with relatives in the ICU. Design and methodsThis study was a methodology research design. The educational information material was conducted in three stages: 1. Bibliographic survey; 2. Design and development of educational material; and 3. Validation of those materials by experts in the subject and representatives of the target audience and evaluation. The validation was performed by nine experts and 30 representatives of the target audience. A minimum value of 0.78 was recommended for Content Validation Index while a standard usability score value of 0.68 indicates good app usability. ResultThe educational information material achieved acceptable CVI values (0.83) and the usability score of the web material was higher than 0.68. Meanwhile, the experts proposed changes to the educational information, which were accepted and updated for the final edition of the content. ConclusionThe educational information material was validated in terms of content and relevance and should be used by nurses to fulfil the needed information. Based on the knowledge given, healthcare providers can support, provide comfort, assurance and proximity to family members or relatives in the ICU. Future studies with this application are necessary to assess educational information effectiveness to reduce the psychological distress experienced by family members in the ICU.

Georgette de Montenay, Emblemes, ou devises chrestiennes (1567). Édition d’Alison Adams

This is a fine edition of a monumental work from the early French emblem canon. It contains an Introduction, notes on the current edition including explanation of some textual choices, a facsimile copy of Georgette de Montenay’s work, an annotated transcription of the facsimile, an extensive bibliography, an index of motifs and main ideas, a table of mottoes, and a table of contents. Alison Adams guides the reader between the book’s constituent parts, as well as through the dense forest of references and allusions found in the original work. Every page of the facsimile indicates the corresponding page in the annotated transcription, and vice versa. The table of mottoes is cross-referenced for both the facsimile and the transcription. Image reproduction quality is high, although the greyscale print will not make it seem that way to anyone accustomed to using Glasgow’s digitized copy online, from which these page reproductions are taken. This is an inevitable aspect of medium, however, rather than a failing of the volume in question. In the transcription, Adams’s explanatory notes on the motto, pictura, and eight-syllable verse subscriptio of each emblem are highly detailed, indicating where elements of an image appeared in other emblem books, what they symbolized there, then what they symbolize in Montenay; the ways the texts of each emblem interplay with the image and how that alters our understanding of the emblem overall; the specifically Protestant reading of motto, image, and verse, with their biblical allusions; and other secondary scholarship discussing the emblem. Montenay’s other poems, a part of this work that generally receives little critical attention, are extensively footnoted. Adams’s Introduction is an excellent account of the genesis of Montenay’s work and its subsequent publishing history. She discusses the dating of the first known edition (the 1567 ‘Copenhagen’ copy), making sense of the 1566 privilege and putting to rest any speculation over what was previously presumed to be a five-year delay between privilege and first edition, between 1566 and 1571. Adams also explores how this first printing alters any presumption of the date of composition of the texts themselves, and shows the implications for interpreting the work, especially when comparing it with contemporaneous events linked to the Wars of Religion. Of interest too are questions concerning how far Montenay was involved in the development of the emblem images, her known and possible travel, her marriage date, and her conversion to Calvinism as they relate to the writing of the verses. Adams elaborates on reprints and later editions, including the multilingual versions printed in Protestant strongholds. Where she excels is in her careful treatment of the data available, making clear what is established fact, what is the most likely scenario given what can be known, and what is currently unknowable. She avoids unfounded speculation that could serve any wished-for historical narrative, and as such provides a template for any scholar faced with historical records that are patchy at best. Adams has given us a model for how to produce a critical edition, accessible for both the new student and the established scholar.

Developing a competency-based framework for resident-as-teacher

Residents play an important role as teachers of junior colleagues and medical students. Clinical teaching also helps residents in clinical learning. However, the skills required for residents to be competent teachers are rarely described systemically. Beyond the widely adopted six core competencies for postgraduate training by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the teaching competencies should be further developed, and the milestones should be clearly defined to serve as better references for resident training programs. Twenty members, including five experts from major teaching hospitals across Taiwan and 15 from a public medical center, were invited to a workgroup to collaboratively develop a competency-based framework. The development process was similar to that suggested by the ACGME. The teaching competencies framework were drafted by an experienced physician educator. The draft was sent to each group member, and feedback was collected. Two workgroup meetings were held for consensus formation. The contents of the teaching competencies of residents were confirmed after two rounds of revision. The outline of the framework was also reported at an international meeting in September 2019. Two core competencies, instruction and assessment, with three sub-competencies and 37 milestones, were adopted in the final edition of resident-as-teacher competencies. The sub-competencies were "dissemination of knowledge" and "teaching of procedural skills" for instruction, and "direct observation and feedback" for assessment. A competency-based framework for resident-as-teacher was developed. The framework can be applied in combination with other existing competencies for holistic postgraduate training programs.
