The recent change in Canadian law to allow access to medical assistance in dying restricts eligibility, among its other criteria, to those for whom "natural death has become reasonably foreseeable." A recent review of certain aspects of the law examined the evidence pertaining to extending access to assisted dying in three particular request situations currently denied: requests by mature minors, advance requests, and requests where mental illness is the sole underlying medical condition [1]. The requirement for this review was included in the legislation that introduced medical assistance in dying in Canada. Both the original change in the law and the review itself neglected to consider those with intolerable suffering for whom natural death is not reasonably foreseeable. This paper explores the possibility that access to assisted dying should be extended by removing this limiting criterion. It also considers the ethical challenges this might present for those who work in rehabilitation. ; La récente modification de la loi canadienne permettant l'accès à l'aide médicale à mourir en restreint l'admissibilité, entre autres critères, à ceux pour qui «la mort naturelle est devenue raisonnablement prévisible». Une révision récente de certains aspects de la loi a examiné les preuves concernant l'accès à l'aide médicale à mourir dans trois situations de refus: demandes de mineurs matures, demandes anticipées et demandes pour lesquelles la maladie mentale est la seule condition médicale sous-jacente [1]. L'exigence de cet examen a été incluse dans la loi qui a introduit l'aide médicale à mourir au Canada. Tant le changement initial de la loi que l'examen lui-même négligent la prise en compte de ceux qui ont des souffrances intolérables, et pour lesquels la mort naturelle n'est pas raisonnablement prévisible. Cet article explore la possibilité d'étendre l'accès à l'aide médicale à mourir en supprimant ce critère limitatif. Il considère également les défis éthiques que cela peut présenter pour ceux qui travaillent en ...

Building on queer theory, on formative and current discourses of child and youth care (CYC), and on feminist and other ethics of care theorizing, this paper applies queer analytics to CYC by considering how desire, identity, sexuality, theory, and politics may be taken up within CYC.

This research paper explores the trends of presenting political and social realities in Arabic children's literature through a content analysis of 26 award-winning Arabic children's books published between 2011 and 2018 — after the Arab Spring. The origins of Arabic children's books are first investigated from a number of different standpoints, and are shown to have traditional, religious, and global ties. I also explore the recent rise of interest in creating Arabic literary works for young children. I deduce that the causes of this increase are a cultural reawakening, globalization, and government support and funding. Finally, the 26 children's books studied show links between the ethnicity of their authors, their dates of publication, and the illustrations and themes that appear in them. This provides support for the idea that Arabic political reality is often reflected in Arabic children's literature.

Assyriology covers disciplines that concern the study of the ancient Near East, and more specifically the period and the geographic area defined by the use of cuneiform writing. Archaeologists, historians and art historians who conduct research in this field work in countries at war or in countries that do not respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They are confronted with situations that affect their daily work. To better understand these situations, it is essential to understand the recent history of these countries, the role played by Western researchers in the rediscovery of antiquity, and the relationship of local politicians and populations to their past. In 2003, Assyriologists created the International Association for Assyriology to better address the situation in the Near East, and since 2014, they have reacted through official statements, before reflecting on the ethical behaviour of researchers. This concerns respect for the laws of the countries under study, cooperation with local scientists, the training of future generations and the well-being of the workforce employed on archaeological excavation sites. It concerns the means to be implemented for the safeguarding and restoration of cultural heritage, without cooperating with dictatorial regimes. Finally, the ethical behaviour of the researcher depends on the transmission of knowledge to the public, and in particular information to potential buyers about the danger of contributing to the trafficking of antiquities. ; L'assyriologie recouvre les disciplines qui portent sur l'étude du Proche-Orient antique, et plus spécifiquement sur la période et la zone géographique définies par l'usage de l'écriture cunéiforme. Les archéologues, historiens et historiens de l'art qui mènent des recherches dans ce domaine, travaillent dans des pays en guerre ou des pays qui ne respectent pas la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme. Ils sont confrontés à des situations qui affectent leur travail au quotidien. Pour mieux appréhender les ...

The purpose of this article is to present the pedagogical proposal that underlies the development of tools for the language training of adult immigrants in Francophone minority contexts. These tools complement the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) 2012 framework (Citizenship and Immigration Canada and Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks, 2012). In our article, we first sketch the problem of teaching French as a second language to adult immigrants in a minority setting. Second, we explain the research design that led to the development of the NCLC 2012, considering language learning and the contextual constraints in which the framework and its associated tools are used. Third, we give some examples of tools adapted to the teaching of French as a second language in minority Francophone communities that follow the pedagogical approach proposed by the NCLC. To conclude, we take stock of many challenges that remain in the development of tools for our target clientele. ; L'objectif de cet article est de présenter la proposition pédagogique qui sous-tend depuis quelques années le développement des outils destinés à la formation langagière des immigrants adultes en contexte francophone minoritaire. Ces outils complémentent le référentiel Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) 2012 (Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada et Centre des niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens, 2012). Dans notre article, dans un premier temps, nous esquissons la problématique de l'enseignement du français langue seconde aux immigrants adultes en milieu minoritaire. Dans un deuxième temps, nous expliquons le plan de recherche qui a permis l'élaboration des NCLC 2012 en tenant compte à la fois des acquis en didactique des langues et des contraintes du contexte dans lequel le référentiel et ses outils connexes sont utilisés. Dans un troisième temps, nous donnons quelques exemples d'outils adaptés à l'enseignement du français langue seconde en milieu francophone minoritaire qui suivent l'approche pédagogique ...
