Where ‘Each Word is Empire’: Margaret Atwood’s Politicised Poetics

Colin Nicholson(Colin Nicholson ) 한국캐나다학회 2009 Asia-Pacific Journal of Canadian Studies (APJCS) Vol.14·15 No.-

When Atwood began writing, feminism in its modern forms had not yet mobilised. Because her sense of politics is lived as a personally involving relationship that will be existentialised, archaeologised, satirised and reconstructed across a range of texts and intertexts, her poetry develops energy and impact on the page by negotiating a political infrastructure felt on the pulse. Atwood’s writing has from the beginning elaborated notions of politically gendered subjectivity marked in performing selves whose seeming privacy articulates public administrations (and suppressions) of experiential possibility. Personal immediacies confront both the pressure of externally determined postcolonial priorities and the difficulty of negotiating already internalised language practices. Atwood’s poetics of resistance to a wide range of assumptions, discourses and histories with which it is inevitably complicit generates political resonance from personalised context. Reading her with and against the social and constitutional contexts described by political scientist Alan Cairns discloses a Canadian subjectivity fascinated with what the record does not say, and with gaps and fissures in the systems of recognition archived as cultural heritage and practiced as customary norms. Canada’s historic and continuing ethnic/ cultural diversity is encoded in work which predates the formal inception of what Cairns calls ‘the new role of the constitution in Canadian society’. In this light, and by expressing an already compromised subjectivity, Atwood devises representational latitude for a coherent, autonomous feminine self.

What Makes a Good Interpreter? A Study of Interpreter Trainees' Personality Traits

SCHWEDA-NICHOLSON Nancy 한국통역번역학회 2005 통역과 번역 Vol.7 No.2

The current article examines data gathered from 68 interpreter trainees using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a widely-recognized personality instrument. This paper includes general background information on the MBTI as well as a detailed review of the interpretation literature on the subject of personality. A multi-faceted discussion of the results focuses on the distribution of personality types within the subject sample in areas such as extraversion/introversion and on differences related to gender and education level. Some stereotypical notions regarding differences between interpreters and translators, for example, are not supported by the current findings. In addition, the analysis provides insight into the personality types of the Chinese, Japanese and Spanish trainees. The article concludes with some observations on the preponderance of “Thinking” females in the study and suggests possible directions for future research.

Characteristics of Drift Pumice from New Caledonia Beaches

Kirsten Ngaire Nicholson,Ariel Stewart 한국해양과학기술원 2016 Ocean science journal Vol.51 No.4

Siliceous drift pumice was collected from a total of 40 beaches around the main island of New Caledonia, Southwest Pacific, in order to determine its provenance. New Caledonia is enclosed by a barrier reef lagoon whose 2008 designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site brought attention to the environmental degradation caused by a century of open cast nickel mining. The frequent, voluminous pumice eruptions in the Southwest Pacific provide ample source material that is somewhat durable, highly transportable in water, and easy to collect and analyze. Geochemical and mineralogical analyses were used to identify the source of the pumice in order to map the transport vector across the open ocean and into the lagoon. Drift pumice was sampled during 2008 and 2010. The mineral assemblage of the pumice was consistently calcic plagioclase, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and opaque minerals. All of the pumice was of fairly uniform geochemistry: low in mafic elements, low in alkalis, with LILE enriched compared to HFSE, and negative Eu, Ti, and Zr anomalies. The pumice is predominately dacitic and tholeiitic. This geochemical signature was consistent with published data from the Tonga arc, which is further supported by the mineralogy. With the exception of two samples (which probably came from either the Kermadec arc or Vanuatu) all of the pumice comes from the Tonga arc. The samples from 2008 are consistent with pumice erupted from Metis Shoal in 2006, and the majority of 2010 samples are consistent with pumice erupted from an unnamed volcano (0403-091) that erupted in 2001.

Proactive Efforts to Educate Attorneys and Judges on the Role of the Court Interpreter in the United States (US), at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and at the International Criminal Court (ICC)

( Nancy Schweda Nicholson ) 한국통역번역학회 2005 FORUM Vol.3 No.2

Le present article traite des seances de formation destinees aux avocats qui preparent a representer les accuses devant le Tribunal Penal International pour l`ex-Yougoslavie et/ou la Cour Penale Internationale. Les seminaires touchent surtout les techniques de plaidoirie et la pratique du droit devant les tribunaux internationaux. Dans le contexte americain, l`article decrit aussi une formation parrainee par le Barreau de l`Etat du Delaware pour les avocats, les juges, et d`autre personnel juridique. En general, cette contribution insiste sur l`importance d`eduquer les avocats par rapport au role de l`interprete aupres des tribunaux. Par ailleurs, l`article souligne <comment travailler avec les interpretes>, une habilete qui manque souvent. Il y a des defis linguistiques et extralinguistiques a comprendre. Les modes d`interpretation (simultanee, consecutive et relais) s`elaborent aussi bien que les situations variees dans lesquelles les differents modes sont employes. Enfin, l`article fournit des renseignements en ce qui concerne les formations a l`avenir et insiste sur le besoin d`un engagement continuel des interpretes experts dans ce domaine tres specialise.

Endoscopic Diagnosis of Duodenal Stenosis in a 5-Month-Old Male Infant

Maribeth R. Nicholson,Sari A. Acra,Dai H. Chung,Michael J. Rosen 대한소화기내시경학회 2014 Clinical Endoscopy Vol.47 No.6

Duodenal stenosis and duodenal atresia are well-known gastrointestinal anomalies in patients with Down syndrome. Although duodenal atresia presents early and classically with vomiting in the immediate neonatal period, the presentation of duodenal stenosis can be significantly more subtle and the diagnosis delayed. Here, we describe the case of a 5-month-old male infant with Down syndrome and delayed presentation of high-grade duodenal stenosis diagnosed endoscopically. Pediatric gastroenterologists should include duodenal stenosis in the differential diagnosis of older infants and children with vomiting and should be familiar with the endoscopic appearance of this lesion.

Dynamic percolation grid Monte Carlo simulation

Timothy M. Nicholson,Peter J. Halley,Nara Altmann 한국유변학회 2007 Korea-Australia rheology journal Vol.19 No.1

A dynamic Monte Carlo percolation grid simulation is used to predict the cure behaviour of thermoset materials. Molecules are distributed in a fixed grid and a probability of reaction is assigned to each pair of neighbouring units considering both reaction rates and diffusion. The concentration and network characteristics are predicted throughout the whole curing process and compared to experimental data for an epoxy-amine matrix.

Cervical Range of Motion Associations with Sub-clinical Neck Pain

Lee, Haejung,Nicholson, Leslie L.,Adams, Roger D. Korea Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation As 2003 PNF and Movement Vol.1 No.1

목적: 병원치료가 필요하지 않을 만큼의 경부통증/증상과 관절가동범위, 경흉추의 다각적 면에서 관계를 조사하기 위해서이다. 방법: 연령은 19세에서 42세(평균연령 28세로 실험에 참여하기를 원하는 건강한 성인 40명을 대상으로 하였다. 경흉추의 척추 자세, 경추 능동 관절 가동범위, 경부 분절 길이 등의 다각적인 면을 측정하였다. 모든 측정들은 동일시에 각 대상자에게 서로 다른 측정자에 의해 두 번 실시되었다. 경부 근 지구력은 수정된 Biering-Sorensen 검사법에 의해 측정되었다. 마지막으로 대상자들에게 경부 통증/증상의 재발에 대한 질문을 하였다. 결과: 14명의 대상자들은 경미한 재발성 경부 통증/증상을 보고하였다. 경부 근 지구력 시간(F(1,38)=6.75, p=0.01)과 좌측 회전 가동 범위(F(1,38)=4.56, p=0.04)가 경부 통증을 가진 대상자들에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 신전 가동범위가 재 측정에서 특정군 변화 즉, 정상군 증가, 경부 통증/증상군 감소(F(1,38)=4.67, p=0.04)가 보였다. 경부 통증/증상군은 정상군과 비교 시 후인 가동 범위의 증가하였다(F(1,38) =4.56, p=0.04). 통증 유무에 관계없이 모든 대상자들에서 우측 회전보다 좌측 회전에서 가동범위가 더 크게 나타났고(F(1,38) =4.34, p=0.04), 반복 측정에서 좌측 측방굴곡 (F(1,38) =5.10, p=0.03)과 우측 측방 굴곡(F(1,38) = 5.27, p=0.03)의 감소가 나타났다. 결론: 경미한 증상의 경부통증 대상자군과 정상적인 대상자군을 비교할 때 그룹 간 차이는 경부 근 지구력 시간의 감소, 좌측 회전 가동 범위 감소와 특히, 두 번 째 측정에서 신전범위 감소가 나타났으나 후인의 가동범위는 증가로 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과들은 경부 통증의 발생과 관련된 초기 가동범위 변화를 제안한다.
