The Rabbit and the Mountain Lion: Anxiety and its Opposite
Authors: Doyle Stuart T
Published: August 2021

Anxiety is understood ethologically. That is, as a preparatory state to evade predators or other dangers in the environment. Animal models of prey avoiding predation are taken as analogous to human anxiety. But if that is the case, then the neurological and affective state of the predator should also have a human analog, since humans are predators too. This postulated neurological and affective state in humans would be the opposite of anxiety, yet it could be mistaken for anxiety and thus be misdiagnosed. This paper will suggest a name for that opposite of anxiety, then analytically examine some ways in which it manifests and interacts with contemporary society.
Autonomy and the Folk Concept of Valid Consent
Authors: Demaree-Cotton Joanna , Sommers Roseanna
Published: August 2021

Consent governs innumerable everyday social interactions, including sex, medical exams, the use of property, and economic transactions. Yet little is known about how ordinary people reason about the validity of consent. Across the domains of sex, medicine, and police entry, Study 1 showed that when agents lack autonomous decision-making capacities, participants are less likely to view their consent as valid; however, failing to exercise this capacity and deciding in a nonautonomous way did not reduce consent judgments. Study 2 found that specific and concrete incapacities reduced judgments of valid consent, but failing to exercise these specific capacities did not, even when the consenter makes an irrational and inauthentic decision. Finally, Study 3 showed that the effect of autonomy on judgments of valid consent carries important downstream consequences for moral reasoning about the rights and obligations of third parties, even when the consented-to action is morally wrong. Overall, these findings suggest that laypeople embrace a normative, domain-general concept of valid consent that depends consistently on the possession of autonomous capacities, but not on the exercise of these capacities. Autonomous decisions and autonomous capacities thus play divergent roles in moral reasoning about consent interactions: while the former appears relevant for assessing the wrongfulness of consented-to acts, the latter plays a role in whether consent is regarded as authoritative and therefore as transforming moral rights.
COHORT PROFILE: THE ZURICH PROJECT ON THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD (Z-PROSO)
Authors: Ribeaud Denis , Murray Aja Louise , Shanahan Lilly , Shanahan Michael , Eisner Manuel
Published: August 2021

The Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso) began in 2004 in response to the need for a better evidence base to support optimal child social development and prevent crime and violence. Since then, the study has tracked the development of a diverse sample of youths (N = 1,675 in the target sample; ~50% female) from age 7 (n = 1,360) to age 20 (n = 1,180), with primary data collection waves at ages 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 20. The study uses a multi-method, multi-informant design that combines teacher, youth, and parent reports with observational and behavioural measures, biosampling, functional imaging, and ecological momentary assessment. Analyses of the data have contributed important evidence to a diversity of topics in child and adolescent development, illuminating the developmental roots of crime and aggression, the impacts of exposure to different forms and combinations of victimisation, and trajectories of mental health and neurodevelopmental symptoms.
Individual uniqueness in trust profiles and well-being: Understanding the role of cultural tightness-looseness from a representation similarity perspective
Authors: luo siyang , Li Liman , Espina Ervina , Bond Michael Harris , Lun Vivian Miu Chi , Huang Nora , Duan Qin , Liu James H
Published: August 2021

This paper provides a unique perspective for understanding cultural differences: representation similarity - a computational technique that uses pairwise comparisons of units to reveal their representation in higher-order space. By combining individual-level measures of trust across domains and well-being from 13,823 participants across 15 nations with a measure of society-level tightness-looseness, we found that any two countries with more similar tightness-looseness tendencies exhibit higher degrees of representation similarity in national interpersonal trust profiles. Although each individual’s trust profile is generally similar to their nation’s trust profile, the greater similarity between an individual’s and their society’s trust profile predicted a higher level of individual life satisfaction only in loose cultures, but not in tight cultures. Using the framework of representation similarity to explore cross-cultural differences from a multidimensional, multi-national perspective can provide a new and fuller understanding of culture and its influence on human well-being.
Why Do (Some) Ordinary Americans Support Tax Cuts for the Rich? Evidence From a Randomized Survey Experiment
Authors: Hope David , Limberg Julian , Weber Nina Sophie
Published: August 2021

Why do (some) ordinary citizens support tax cuts for the rich? A prominent explanation in the political economy literature stresses the role of unenlightened self-interest. According to this view, citizens consistently fail to gauge whether they are directly affected by tax policy reforms. We use a randomized survey experiment in the US to identify the drivers of preferences for cutting taxes on the rich. The results show that informing individuals of whether they are directly affected by a cut in the top federal income tax rate has no impact on preferences. We therefore find no support for the unenlightened self-interest explanation. In contrast, we find preferences for taxing the rich are fundamentally affected by information that shifts citizens' core fairness beliefs, as well as information on the past trajectory of top tax rates. Our results therefore align with explanations of tax policy preferences that emphasize the importance of fairness perceptions and reference points.
Factors Affecting Online Shopping Behaviour of Boutique Products in Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Sah Gunja Kumari
Published: August 2021

The Internet significantly influences people's beliefs and habits all around the world. As a result of this blessing, online shopping has flourished, influencing the lives of ordinary people. This research aims to learn more about how people shop for boutique products online and identify the major influential factors.  The research was constructed using a positivist approach and a descriptive and causal research design. Data were obtained from the 325 samples of respondents at Kathmandu valley through convenience sampling techniques. A total of 450 structure questionnaires were distributed, and 360 were returned. 35 questionnaires were judged to be invalid, while the remaining 325 were referred to as valid questionnaires, entered into SPSS version 20 for the analysis. The result revealed that trust, firm reputation, and ease of use are significant at a 5percent level of significance. However, there was an insignificant relationship between price and online shopping behaviour. Firm reputation and ease of use were the major influential factor of online shopping of boutique products. The study will help the boutique business to develop their strategies as per the consumer need.

Two Solitudes: Wilder Penfield, Ewen Cameron, and the Search for a Better Lobotomy
Authors: Prkachin Yvan
Published: August 2021

In the 1940s, Wilder Penfield carried out a series of experimental psychosurgeries with the psychiatrist D. Ewen Cameron. This article explores Penfield’s brief foray into psychosurgery and uses this episode to re-examine the emergence of his surgical enterprise. Penfield’s greatest achievement – the surgical treatment of epilepsy – grew from the same roots as psychosurgery, and the histories of these treatments overlap in surprising ways. Within the contexts of Rockefeller-funded neuropsychiatry and Adolf Meyer’s psychobiology, Penfield’s frontal lobe operations (including a key operation on his sister) played a crucial role in the development of lobotomy in the 1930s. The combination of ambiguous data and the desire to collaborate with a psychiatrist encouraged Penfield to try to develop a superior operation. However, unlike his collaboration with psychiatrists, Penfield’s productive working relationship with psychologists encouraged him to abandon the experimental “gyrectomy” procedure. The story of Penfield’s attempt to find a better lobotomy can help us to examine different forms of interdisciplinarity within biomedicine.
“Unscrupulous and Morally Ill-Prepared” Laymen or Professionals? Controlling Pharmacists during the Brazilian Military Dictatorship
Authors: Broglia de Moura Mariana
Published: August 2021

This article traces the transformation of the system of control and repression of Brazilian pharmaceutical activities between the 1930s and the 1970s, through a Foucauldian framework of “differential management of illegalisms.” The period between 1930 and 1960 can be understood as a process of negotiation between pharmacists and state agencies that achieved a compromise on the differential management of illegalisms in relation to drugs, with a clear distinction between “laymen” and “professionals.” This compromise came into question during the dictatorship, due to institutional transformations that reinforced the autonomy of institutions of repression and a military struggle against subversion and corruption. Pharmacists and laymen alike were considered potential suspects. This suspicion even extended to the civilian agencies that were at the core of the regulation of the licit drug market. These developments profoundly changed the way illegalisms committed by professionals and state officials were treated, blurring the boundaries that had been established between laymen, professionals, inspectors, and industrialists. The final section of the article focuses on the various ways in which institutions of repression focused on pharmacists and state regulatory control agencies as potential places of subversive activity or corruption.
К вопросу об интерпретации эхограмм ультразвукового импульсного дефектоскопа
Authors: Мартыненко А.В. , Ермаченко В.П.
Published: August 2021

The echogram of an ultrasonic pulse flaw detector is considered as an auto-convolution of an acoustic signal radiated into the load and received by a damped piezo plate. The reconstruction of the acoustic signal makes it possible to determine the drift of the reflection coefficients of ultrasonic vibrations at the boundaries of the piezo plate-load and piezo plate-damper, for example, when checking transducer during manufacture, under operating conditions. A method for evaluating the sensitivity of the transducer is proposed.
Дифференциальный фон электрического сигнала, снимаемого с индукционной магнитной головки
Authors: Павлюченко В.В. , Дорошевич Е.С.
Published: August 2021

Experimental dependences U(t) of the electric voltage taken from an induction magnetic head (MH) moving relative to a magnetic carrier (MH) are presented. The backgrounds of the edges of the MN, local defects of the MN, the background of the inhomogeneous magnetic field of the local source, the backgrounds of defects and structural inhomogeneities of the object, the etheric electromagnetic background, the background of the quality of the surface of the object and surface microscopic inhomogeneities of the material have been identified and investigated. The resonant backgrounds of self-excitation of the measuring system on the signals of the edges of the MN, defects of the MN, instrument and network pickups and interference, object defects, and etheric electromagnetic fields are revealed and investigated. Resonance peaks are the result of self-excitation of the measuring system, which includes the MG, and arise on the trailing edges of any signals of sufficient magnitude, the duration of the trailing edge of which is about a quarter of the period of natural oscillations of the measuring system. The amplitude and frequency spectra of the background signals of object defects, MI and noise and the analytical expressions describing them are determined. The results of the extraction of the useful signal from the complete signal recorded on the MN are shown. Investigations of the differential background of an electric signal allow, together with the previously developed methods of hysteresis interference, to control the properties of objects in an automatic mode with program control, which significantly increases the sensitivity and accuracy of control. To achieve this goal, it is recommended to set the parameters of the measurement system at the threshold of the onset of natural free oscillations in it.

Film Production And Economic Performance: Should South Africa Invest In Movies?
Authors:   Nelson Mandela University, Phiri Andrew
Published: August 2021

The movie industry is increasingly recognised as a possible avenue for improving economic performance. This study focuses on film production and its influence on South African economic growth (per capita income and employment between 1970 and 2020). Our autoregressive lag distributive (ARDL) estimates on a loglinearised endogenous growth model augmented with creative capital indicate that the production of movies has no significant effects on long-run GDP growth, per capita GDP and employment. The baseline regressions find a short-run positive and significant influence of film production on per capita income and are devoid of long-run effects. However, re-estimating the regressions with interactive terms between movie production and i) government spending ii) foreign direct investment, improve the significance of film regression coefficients which all turn positive and significant, for government spending, and negative for foreign direct investment. Our results indicate that foreign investment crowds out domestic investment whilst government investment in movies is growth-enhancing.

BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy after breast surgery decreases locoregional recurrence and improves survival. This is not without risks from radiation exposure and could have implications in clinical practice. Our study investigates the correlation between tumour location and radiation dose to the heart. METHODS: Left-sided breast cancer patients who had radiotherapy at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in 2010 were identified. Tumour location was established from notes and imaging. Radiotherapy planning scans were reviewed, and cardiac doses calculated. The mean cardiac dose, maximum dose and volume of the heart in the field, along with V5-V40, were determined. RESULTS: 40 patients had mastectomies and 118 breast conserving surgery. The median percentage of the heart in the field and the Interquartile Range was 0.59% (0.03–1.74) for all patients, with the highest for lower inner quadrant (LIQ) tumours 1.20% (0.29–2.40), followed by mastectomy 0.94% (0.02-1.82). The mean heart dose showed a higher median for mastectomies 1.59 Gy (1.00-1.94), followed by LIQ tumours 1.58 Gy (1.31–2.28), with an overall median of 1.42 Gy (1.13–1.95). The median percentage of the heart in the field, the mean cardiac dose and V5-V30 did not reach statistical significance, however, V40 and the maximum dose did. CONCLUSIONS: The benefits of radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery are established, but with potential harm from cardiac exposure. Our cohort showed higher radiation exposure to the heart in patients with LIQ tumours and mastectomies but reached significance only for V40 and maximum dose. This highlights tumour location as a potentially important risk factor for cardiac exposure with breast radiotherapy.
Graded rough sets based on neighborhood operator over two different universes and their applications in decision-making problems
Authors: Fu Wenqing , Khalil Ahmed Mostafa
Published: August 2021

In this paper, we will propose the novel notion of neighborhood rough sets on a universe set and study some of their basic properties. Then, the relationships between the neighborhood rough sets and covering rough sets are established. Further, the several related notions of probabilistic neighborhood rough sets are investigated and their basic theoretical are discussed. In addition, the notion of neighborhood rough sets over two different universes is defined, and interesting in their properties are explained. Depend on the neighborhood rough sets over two different universes, two algorithms are designed to solve the rough decision-making problems and clarify their applicability by two illustrative examples, respectively. Finally, a comparison between Liu et al.’s approach and our approach is given.

Authors: Voelbel Gerald T. , Lindsey Hannah M. , Mercuri Giulia , Bushnik Tamara , Rath Joseph
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Adults with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) may experience long-term deficits in multiple cognitive domains. Higher-order functions, such as verbal memory, are impacted by deficits in the ability to acquire verbal information. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of a neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive remediation program for auditory information processing in adults with a chronic TBI. METHODS: Forty-eight adults with TBI were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Both groups underwent a neuropsychological assessment at baseline and post-training. The Intervention group received 40 one-hour cognitive training sessions with the Brain Fitness Program. RESULTS: The intervention group improved in performance on measures of the Woodcock-Johnson-III Understanding Directions subtest and Trail Making Test Part-A. They also reported improvement on the cognitive domain of the Cognitive Self-Report Questionnaire. CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrated that a neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive remediation program may improve objective and subjective cognitive function in adults with TBI several years post-injury.
Return-to-driving following acquired brain injury: A neuropsychological perspective
Authors: Perna Robert , Pundlik Jyoti , Arenivas Ana
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Return to driving after an acquired brain injury (ABI) has been positively associated with return to employment, maintenance of social relationships, and engagement in recreational and other community activities. Safe driving involves multiple cognitive abilities in a dynamic environment, and cognitive dysfunction resulting from ABI can negatively impact driving performance. OBJECTIVE: This manuscript examines the post-injury return-to-driving process, including performances on the in-office and on-road assessments, and the role of a rehabilitation neuropsychologist in helping patients resume driving. METHOD: In this study, 39 of 200 individuals (approximately 20%) treated at an outpatient neurorehabilitation facility, who performed satisfactorily on a pre-driving cognitive screening, completed a behind-the-wheel driving test. RESULTS: Of the 200 individuals, 34 (87%) passed the road test. Among the remaining five individuals who did not pass the road test, primary reasons for their failure included inability to follow or retain examiner directions primarily about lane position, speed, and vehicle control. The errors were attributable to cognitive difficulties with information processing, memory, attention regulation, and dual tasking. CONCLUSION The rehabilitation neuropsychologist contributed to the process by assessing cognition, facilitating self-awareness and error minimization, providing education about driving regulations and safety standards, and preparing for the road test and its outcomes.
Therapeutic assessment and the art of feedback: A model for integrating evidence-based assessment and therapy techniques in neurological rehabilitation
Authors: Waldron-Perrine Brigid , Rai Jaspreet K. , Chao Dominique
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic assessment involves the integration of evidence-based approaches and humanistic principles, and there is empirical support for the use of this approach in the context of neuropsychological assessment broadly. OBJECTIVE: We propose that therapeutic assessment (TA) and collaborative therapeutic neuropsychological assessment (CTNA) principles are appropriate and effective for application within a neurological rehabilitation population specifically. METHODS: We review TA and CTNA principles and propose a model for their application to a neurological rehabilitation population, with an emphasis on describing the strengths of the collaborative approach, guidelines and principles for maximizing the efficacy of feedback, and transitioning the patient into psychotherapy services to further address their personal goals. A case example of a neurologically injured individual engaged in CTNA and subsequent intervention is shared to highlight the principles discussed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The proposed model and case study demonstrate the clinical utility of TA and CTNA principles with a neurological rehabilitation population.

Nutrition and Fertilization of Palms in Containers
Authors: Broschat Timothy K.
Published: August 2021

Palms growing in containers are susceptible to the same deficiencies that landscape palms experience, but the relative importance of the various deficiencies as well as their causes are different. Container substrates are generally more acidic and have greater nutrient-holding capacity than Florida native soils. Thus leaching and insolubility of nutrients are much less of a problem. Also, container-grown palms are often fertilized with more complete controlled-release fertilizers or regular liquid fertilization, which prevents most deficiencies from occurring.

Cypress Weevil, Eudociminus mannerheimii (Boheman) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Authors: Mayfield, III Albert E.
Published: August 2021

The cypress weevil, Eudociminus mannerheimii (Boheman), is a native insect that breeds primarily in scarred, weakened, or fallen bald cypress (Taxodium distichum [L.] L.C. Rich) and pond cypress (T. ascendens Brongn.). In Florida, adult feeding has caused limited wounding and girdling of pond cypress stump sprouts and planted seedlings. Small diameter bald cypress nursery stock has also been damaged by larvae tunneling through the main stem and root collar. Apart from entries in species checklists and catalogs, published information about the cypress weevil is extremely limited (Hopkins 1904, Blatchley and Leng 1916, Baker and Bambara 1999).
Although the cypress weevil has not been a frequent pest of major economic importance, its occasional damage should be recognized, and the lack of information regarding its biology, potential hosts, and management, warrants further research.

Aim: The aim of this review is to investigate the nurse’s perceived level of preparedness with regard to occupational safety. Methods: A narrative review of the literature was conducted using some of the main databases such as PubMed, CINAHL and Cochrane. Results: The studies analysed show that Italian nurses have little knowledge about occupational health and safety legislation. Conclusions: Establishing specific postgraduate training events and identifying specific legislation for healthcare personnel could represent essential steps towards implementing this specific knowledge.
PERIPHERAL NON_ ENZYMATIC ANTIOXIDANTS LEVELS IN SCHIZOPHRENIA AND BIPOLAR ILLNESS A COMPARATIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: Acharya Rajendra Kumar , Gupta Rahul , Gehlot Sanjay
Published: August 2021

Background: Nervous tissue is extremely sensitive to oxidative damage Recent studies show an elevated level of oxidative stress indicators in Schizophrenia. Current studies on oxidative stress in Schizophrenia mainly focus on enzymatic antioxidants, while limited studies have been carried out on non-enzymatic antioxidants Some studies discovered that plasma non-enzymatic antioxidants (uric acid, bilirubin, and albumin) in Schizophrenia are lower than those of healthy controls.

Aim: To compare levels of nonenzymatic antioxidants in Schizophrenia and bipolar illness.

Material and Methods: The present study is a hospital_ based cross-sectional study conducted among 100 patients with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Affective disorder included as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and undergone psychiatric assessment as per diagnostic criteria.

Results: S. albumin, S.bilirubin, S.uric acid were found to be low in Schizophrenia but statistically, the significant difference was evaluated for S.uric acid.

Conclusion: S. uric acid lower significant levels in Schizophrenia as compared to bipolar affective disorder shows the more impaired peripheral antioxidant scavenging system in Schizophrenia. However, pure peripheral antioxidant system dysfunction could not be ascertained in Schizophrenia through this study.

Keywords: nonenzymatic antioxidants, Schizophrenia, bipolar illness.

The current study retrospectively enrolled, 75 confirmed COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in a tertiary care hospital from December 2020 to February 2021. The diagnosis was confirmed by RT-PCR from nasopharyngeal swab.

Demographic data and laboratory values were collected from medical records and patient file. The following variables were recorded for each COVID-19 patient: age, sex, chest CT severity scores of lung involvement at admission, history of Comorbidities like diabetes mellitus, hypertension were noted and laboratory findings like Absolute neutrophils count, Absolute lymphocytes count recorded from Complete blood count of patient and Serum albumin, globulin level recorded from Liver function test of patient.

This study proves that N-L ratio is more accurate predictor of severity of SARS-COVID-19 infection than A-G ratio with more sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value and can be used as a severity marker in places where medical resources is limited. However, a larger study with more subjects requires for exact correlation.

Keywords: NLR, AGR, Severity & COVID-19.

Authors: BEKTUR AYKANAT Nuriye Ezgi , KAÇAR Sedat
Published: August 2021

Zingiberaceae familyasına ait zerdeçaldan elde edilen bir polifenol olan kurkumin, anti-inflamatuar, anti-tümör, anti-oksidatif ve antimikrobiyal etkiler dahil olmak üzere birçok etkiye sahiptir. Kurkuminin farklı kanser hücreleri üzerindeki etkileri hakkında birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, kurkuminin T-47D meme kanseri hücre canlılığı üzerindeki anti-kanser etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. T-47D meme kanseri hücrelerine farklı dozlarda uygulanan kurkuminin etkisi MTT yöntemi ve inverted mikroskop ile araştırılmıştır. Kurkuminin T-47D hücrelerinde IC50 dozu 24 saat sonunda 65,8 μM, 48 saat sonunda 46,4 μM ve 72 saat sonunda ise 26,6 μM olarak belirlenmiştir. Morfolojik değerlendirmede ise kurkumin uygulanmış hücreler yuvarlak ve flask yüzeyinden ayrılmış kitleler halinde gözlenmektedir. Sonuçlarımız, kurkuminin T-47D hücre proliferasyonunu önemli ölçüde azalttığını göstermektedir. Kurkumin, tek başına veya diğer moleküllerle kombinasyon halinde meme kanseri tedavisi için bir aday olabilir. Gelecekte, kurkuminin meme kanseri hücreleri üzerindeki etki mekanizmasını aydınlatmak için daha kapsamlı ve çok merkezli destekli ileri klinik çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
Optimization of Draft and Twist Values for Improvement of Breaking Strength and Elongation Properties of Dual-Core Yarns
Authors: ÜSTÜNTAĞ Sümeyye
Published: August 2021

Dual-core yarns, which are developed to have high elasticity and strength properties at the same time in the yarn structure, have been the focus of interest in yarn sector. Considering the purpose of developing dual-core yarns, it is obvious that the breaking strength and elongation performances expected from these yarns are very important. In this paper, the twist coefficient and PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)/Elastane draft ratios of dual-core yarns were optimized by Taguchi Method for improved of breaking strength and elongation performance. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) was calculated for each output and optimum levels were determined over these ratios. As a result of the study, it was determined that PET draft was the most effective parameter for both outputs. Considering the individual optimum levels determined for each output, common factor-level combinations covering both outputs were determined. Consequently, optimal common combination for the multi-performances was found as 4.2 twist coefficient, 1.15 PET draft ratio and 3.8 elastane ratio.
La conspiración de los tres antonios, Santiago/Polpaico, 1780. Primer intento republicano en América Latina
Authors: Puigmal Patrick
Published: August 2021

En 1780, ocurre en Chile el primer intento de rebelión de América latina con meta a instaurar un régimen republicano en lo que hasta ahora era una capitanía del virreinato de Lima del imperio español. Ignorado por los contemporáneos, escondido por la historiografía decimonónica, es solamente a partir de la mitad del siglo XIX que se dio a conocer este episodio. Dos ciudadanos franceses radicados en Chile, Antoine Berney y Antoine Gramusset, fueron las cabezas pensantes de aquella conspiración en compañía de un criollo chileno, Antonio de Rojas. Poco se ha escrito sobre el intento, lo existente refleja a menudo las posiciones ideológicas de los autores y existen pocas referencias a documentación archivista. Presentamos por lo tanto un relato novedoso y contextualizado acompañado de la publicación de varias cartas inéditas en Chile sobre un episodio que, de manera premonitoria, marco el inicio de la emancipación de este país.

Schrödinger’s American: A Self-Reflection of One Person’s Role in Iceland’s Nordic and Arctic Discourse
Authors: Wood Jonathan
Published: August 2021

Introspection and personal story-telling has often been used outside of academia in order to foster dialogue between cultures and peoples. However, this device is rarely used within academia in order to foster debate about cultures, regions, and locales. Through my own personal story, the article brings up questions of belonging within a region that has increasingly come under the microscope. The Arctic has many such stakeholders whose status remains unsolidified or questioned. While my story does not have such questions of legal status, it reflects the insecurity that many feel within a region that has only recently become the focus of colonial hegemony and internationally organized governance. While my positions myself within the region, it is the goal that this paper may inspire others to do the same in order to find common ground upon which we can help connect one another in a region so physically dispersed yet culturally connected.
