When social and political upheavals are testing the art of puppetry, education, and most importantly, the relationship between theater and education, the digital edition of this volume aspires to present to the general public its "today". Greek puppetry, which is very different from the stereotypical image that circulates in much of the educational world. The volume aspires to capture, as much as possible, the dynamics of its existence and its history, a story that convinces that no matter how much it was underestimated as a theatrical genre, no matter how many exclusions it accepted, it is here and continues to entertain and "erode"» with its special characteristics both the fields of education and those of other arts

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of global celebrity chefs and their discourse about food on the genre of cookbooks in Slovenia. Design/methodology/approach – Focusing this discourse study on cookbook topics only, the analysis demonstrates the relationship between the aspirations of local celebrity chefs for the food culture represented globally by global celebrity chefs, such as Oliver, and the necessity for a local construction of specific tastes. While the central genre of TV celebrity chefs remains TV cooking shows, their businesses include a number of side products, such as cookbooks, which can be seen as recontexualisations of TV food discourse. Findings – Hence, despite this study being limited to analysis of cookbooks only, it can be claimed that the findings extend to other genres. The analysis shows that local chefs aspire to follow current trends, such as an emphasis on the local and sustainable production of food as well as enjoyment and pleasure in the form of a postmodern hybrid genre, while, on the other hand, they strive to include topics that will resonate locally, as they aim to represent themselves as the “new middle class”. Originality/value – Such an analysis brings new insights into the relationship between discourse and globalisation as well as discourse and food.

Abstract The concept and use of choice architecture in public policy arouses warranted suspicion among scholars and the general public. Liberal scholars fear that without limitations, the contemporary wave of nudge theory and policies threaten individual autonomy. In this paper, I argue that the use of choice architecture in particular policy areas can not only enhance individual autonomy, but also work to mitigate larger social inequalities. Research demonstrates that too much choice leads to ‘choice paralysis’, especially in instances where knowledge is low and stakes are high. By limiting and nudging choices in these contexts, individuals are likely to feel less overwhelmed and more in control. A stronger sense of control and additional resources elevates the experience of autonomy felt by vulnerable populations (those with low knowledge and resources). This paper offers a theoretically robust defense of choice architecture by examining the relationship between choice architecture and autonomy.

Abstract Background Current trends estimate a 33% increase in obesity and 130% increase in severe obesity by the year 2030. It is unclear what the effect of obesity is on postoperative fevers, postoperative complications, and diagnostic workup rates. Methods We evaluated 5,330 patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, colectomy, or craniectomy from October 2009 to December 2014 at NorthShore University HealthSystem, in Illinois. Clinical data were extracted from the Enterprise Data Warehouse, including diagnostic testing and complications. Complications were also verified by physician chart review. Χ2 and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to analyze categorical and continuous variables. Results Obesity (BMI ≥ 35) was present in 1081 (23.4%) of knee arthroplasty, 38 (16.9%) of colectomy and 55 (12.6%) of craniectomy patients. There was no increase in complications by BMI in each individual surgery except for increased 30-day readmissions in craniectomy patients with BMI ≥ 35 (P = 0.032). Collectively, there was no difference in the relationship between BMI and rate of post-op complications (Table 1). However, patients with BMI ≥ 35 experienced more fevers (P = 0.002), underwent additional workup (0.011), and had higher workup costs (P < 0.001). Conclusion Patients with BMI ≥ 35 had more fevers, more workups and higher cost, but not higher complication rates during the index hospitalization after surgery. Awareness of the predisposition towards post-op fever in obese patients in the absence of complication may prevent costly and unnecessary testing. More work is still needed to understand the effect of obesity on more distant complication rates. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Public perceptions of non-governmental organisations in Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Macedonia

The Relationship

The article examines the relationship between NGOs and the general public in Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Macedonia. This relationship is often perceived as troubled. Focus group findings, however, suggest that ordinary people’s attitudes towards local NGOs are rather more nuanced and that quite a few people would like to join an NGO themselves, if given an opportunity. NGOs should therefore make more effort to tap into this potential, by providing more and better information about their activities available to the general public and by being more inclusive, thus enhancing both NGO legitimacy and future sustainability in the region.

The Relationship

The comments of Nicholas Sarkozy provide a powerful and forceful opening to Dr Richard's article and remind us of the potential significance of academic considerations of colonial legacies in the contemporary world. Dr Richard argues strongly against static conceptualizations of pre-‘Atlantic-era’ Africa and seeks to recast Africans not as victims, but as active ‘producers of history and culture’ (p. 26). In so doing he aligns himself with current trends in critical scholarship on colonial encounters in the Atlantic worlds of the last four centuries, scholarship that overtly criticizes dichotomous understandings of such encounters in favour of approaches that emphasize ambiguity (e.g. Hall 2000; Silliman 2001; 2009; Stahl 2007). Dr Richard's introductory suggestion that we should formulate ‘new questions instead of supplying different answers to the quandaries of an earlier generation of historians’ (p. 3) is clearly applicable to studies of colonial arenas beyond West Africa. In all parts of the world touched by European colonialism (including, of course, Europe itself) the ways in which scholars approach their subjects are very much conditioned by more widely held cultural memories, whatever the relationship of those memories may be to whatever may have occurred in the past.

Practical Implications

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the process and implications of usability testing a prototype version of the Letters of 1916 Digital Edition. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents the testing, the lessons learned and how those lessons informed the subsequent redesign of the site. Findings Results imply that a majority of users, even digital humanists, were not looking for a unique and specialised interface, but assumed – and preferred – a user experience that reflects common search systems. Although the audience for digital humanities sites is becoming increasingly diverse, the needs of the different user groups may be more similar than had previously been assumed. Research limitations/implications The usability test employed 11 participants, five of whom were coded as “general public”. Four of these five had previously volunteered to transcribe and upload letters. This meant that they were already familiar with the project and with the Letters of 1916 Transcription Desk. However, their prior involvement was a result of their genuine interest in the site, thus ensuring that their interactions during testing were more realistic. Practical implications The lesson learned may be useful for the Digital Editions of future crowdsourced humanities projects. Originality/value Letters of 1916 is the first crowdsourced humanities project in Ireland. The theme of the project is topical, emotive and socially important in Ireland and among Irish diaspora today. The project’s content has been created by the “ordinary citizens of Ireland” and they are likely to be the major users of the Digital Edition. The study explores how the Digital Edition can support these users, while also facilitating the range of traditional scholars and digital humanities researchers.
