Avian influenza subtype A(HxNy) viruses are zoonotic and may occasionally infect humans through direct or indirect contact, resulting in mild to severe illness and death. Member States in the Western Pacific Region (WPR) communicate and notify the World Health Organization of any human cases of A(HxNy) through the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) mechanism. This report includes all notifications in the WPR with illness onset dates from 1 November 2003 to 31 July 2022. During this period, there were 1972 human infections with nine different A(HxNy) subtypes notified in the WPR. Since the last report, an additional 134 human avian influenza infections were notified from 1 October 2017 to 31 July 2022. In recent years there has been a change in the primary subtypes and frequency of reports of human A(HxNy) in the region, with a reduction of A(H7N9) and A(H5N1), and conversely an increase of A(H5N6) and A(H9N2). Furthermore, three new subtypes A(H7N4), A(H10N3) and A(H3N8) notified from the People’s Republic of China were the first ever recorded globally. The public health risk from known A(HxNy) viruses remains low as there is no evidence of person-to-person transmission. However, the observed changes in A(HxNy) trends reinforce the need for effective and rapid identification to mitigate the threat of a pandemic from avian influenza if person-to-person transmission were to occur.
A Critical Analysis on Complex Urban Systems and Complex Systems Theory
Authors: Dong Madeleine Wang Yue
Published: February 2023

Deep neural complexity theory has recently received new attention, particularly in the study of climate and the environment. According to the majority of the research on urban climate resilience, cities are complex adaptive systems, and as such, urban governance and design should take cues from the study of complex adaptive systems. This means that climate change governance, in order to mitigate the problems presented by climate change's unpredictability, has to be flexible, participatory, and adaptive. This article provides a critical literature review on the topic of Complex Urban Systems, i.e., climate change governance in the context of complexity theory. The paper argues that the current hype around complexity theory exaggerates the theory's relevance. Complexity theory falls short in explaining urbanization and environmental change since they are highly contested social phenomena. However, it serves a significant purpose in bringing attention to the uncertainty realities in the process of policy-making, which are certainly fundamental in the context of climate change, including the changing ecologies on which cities rely. Many critics of complexity theory point out that it tends to showcase urban developments are happening through neutral evolutionary forces, which can be comprehended, and governed by individuals engaged in governance for a particular objective.
The Value of Literature for Consciousness Research and Ethics
Authors: Høeg Mette Leonard
Published: January 2023

The paper proposes to integrate literary studies in consciousness research to develop a strong ethical and existential dimension in the field. More specifically, it considers the value of fictional narrative for developing concepts of selfhood and personal identity that cohere with
the reductionist explanations of human consciousness and self in modern empirical consciousness research. My central claim is that looking to the literary representations of human consciousness and existence that reject or are free from conventional essentialist ideas of self, agency, and
anthropocentrism can help 'normalize' the reductionist scientific descriptions of humans and reduce their psychologically and socio-culturally disruptive impact. The paper uses Virginia Woolf's The Waves as an example, showing how the novel's non-anthropocentric and non-essentialist
conceptions of self and consciousness overlap with materialist theories in neuroscience and -philosophy but present these in a distinctive narrative framework and poetic terms that bring out the inherent emancipatory potential of the materialist explanation of human existence and offer the
reader the possibility of relating to these experientially and emotionally.
Metaphysics Matters: Towards Semiotic Causation
Authors: Pickering John
Published: January 2023

The return of interest in panpsychism reflects a shift towards process metaphysics. To propose that qualia are present throughout nature is a radical break with the mechanistic worldview inherited from the nineteenth century. That break is much needed as it is becoming clear that the
values implicit in that worldview have helped create a serious ecological crisis. Here, following Bohm and Peirce, an elaboration of process metaphysics is proposed based on a semiotic view of causation. This in turn, taken together with insights from biosemiotics, is used to propose a worldview
of unbroken wholeness in which consciousness is ubiquitous and exists at scales well beyond the range of human experience. It is suggested that this will help to recover some of the ecological sensitivies found in prescientific traditions, which are lost in a purely mechanistic worldview.

Published: February 2023

In the present investigation, bacterial isolates from infected apple trees causing apple canker during winter were studied in the northern Gyeongbuk Province, Korea. The pathogen was identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) through various physiological and biochemical characterization assays such as BIOLOG, gas chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters, and 16S rRNA. Bioassays for the production of phytotoxins were positive for syringopeptin and syringomycin against Bacillus megaterium and Geotrichum candidum, respectively. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method enabled the detection of toxin-producing genes, syrB1, and sypB in Pss. The differentiation of strains was performed using LOPAT and GATTa tests. Pss further exhibited ice nucleation activity (INA) at a temperature of –0.7°C, indicating an INA+ bacterium. The ice-nucleating temperature was –4.7°C for a non-treated control (sterilized distilled water), whereas it was –9.6°C for an INA– bacterium Escherichia coli TOP10. These methods detected pathogenic strains from apple orchards. Pss might exist in an apple tree during ice injury, and it secretes a toxin that makes leaves yellow and cause canker symptoms. Until now, Korea has not developed antibiotics targeting Pss. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective disease control to combat Pss in apple orchards. Pathogenicity test on apple leaves and stems showed canker symptoms. The pathogenic bacterium was re-isolated from symptomatic plant tissue and confirmed as original isolates by 16S rRNA. Repetitive element sequence-based PCR and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus PCR primers revealed different genetic profiles within P. syringae pathovars. High antibiotic susceptibility results showed the misreading of mRNA caused by streptomycin and oxytetracycline.
Use of multivariate analysis and machine learning methods to characterize traits contributing to wheat yield diversity
Authors: BEHPOURI Ali , FAROKHZADEH Sara , ZINATI Zahra , KHOSRAVI Zobeir
Published: February 2023

Aim of study: Regarding the third largest staple food crop in the world, determining the factors affecting wheat yield is of great importance. This study aimed to determine useful subsets of agronomic traits and evaluate the order of importance of traits in grain yield. Area of study: Fars province, Iran. Material and methods: In total, the data corresponding to 22 agronomic traits was collected from six different regions (Darab, Kavar, Marvdasht, Fasa, Lar, and Khonj) of 90 farms of Fars province, Iran as the most important wheat-growing regions. Multivariate statistical analysis (correlation, stepwise regression, and principal component analysis (PCA)) and machine learning modeling approaches, such as partial least squares regression (PLSR) and support vector regression (SVR) models, were applied to agronomic traits. Main results: The findings, based on integrated approaches such as correlation, stepwise regression, and PCA, highlighted that number of spikes m-2, grain number spike-1, and thousand-grain weight had a major impact on the yield followed by awn length, spike length, narrow leaf herbicide, broadleaf herbicide, time to plant maturity (month), and soil salinity. Besides, PLSR with nine inputs (nine selected traits) displayed better prediction capability (R2=85 %, RMSE=0.32, MSE=0.10, and BIAS=-0.05) than that with all twenty-two input traits. Research highlights: Integrated multivariate statistical analyses and machine learning regression methods could be a powerful tool in determining traits that have a significant impact on yield. These achievements can be considered for future breeding programs.
Frailty Among Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Recipients: Epidemiology and Propensity Score-weighted Analysis of Effect on In-hospital Postoperative Outcomes
Authors: Zalikha Abdul K. , Pham Luu , Keeley Jacob , Hussein Inaya Hajj , El-Othmani Mouhanad M.
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is one of the most successful and frequently performed procedures in the United States. The number of these procedures is projected to continue growing rapidly in the coming years, and with it comes the demand for more sophisticated perioperative risk and complication assessment. This study examines the effect of frailty on postoperative inpatient complications and hospital resource utilization after TJA.

Methods:

Discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample were used to identify all patients aged 50 years or older who underwent TJA between 2006 and 2015. Nonelective admissions and hip fractures were excluded. Patients were stratified into two groups with and without concomitant ICD-9 diagnostic criteria that qualified them has having frailty. An analysis comparing the 2 groups' epidemiology, medical comorbidities, and propensity score-weighted postoperative clinical and economic outcomes was done.

Results:

A total of 7,854,890 TJAs were included in this analysis, with 136,516 meeting the criteria for frailty and 7,718,374 being nonfrail. Among these patients, the average age was 67.3 years and the female distribution was 61.1%. Frail patients were found to have markedly higher rates of all but two individual comorbidities constituting the Modified Elixhauser Profile compared with nonfrail patients. Compared with the control group, frail patients were found to have increased risk of any postoperative complication, central nervous system complications, hematoma/seroma, wound dehiscence, infection, and postoperative anemia. Frail patients also had longer length of stay, higher discharge to rehabilitation facilities, and higher hospital charges.

Discussion:

Patients with frailty undergoing TJA procedures are at a markedly higher risk for developing postoperative complications and worse hospital economic outcomes. As this patient population continues to increase, it is imperative for clinicians to use their risk factors in optimizing their perioperative care and support.

Authors: Kraekel Sean M. , Cabarcas Brandon C. , Salomon Kevin I. , Gill Meera , Teytelbaum David , Miranda Michael A. , Bernasek Thomas L.
Published: February 2023

Background:

Limited studies have assessed the impact of state regulations on opioid prescribing patterns for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study evaluates how Florida House Bill 21 (FL-HB21) affected postoperative opioid prescribing for patients after TKA.

Methods:

Institutional review board approval was obtained to retrospectively review all patients who underwent TKA during 3 months of 2017 (pre-law) and 2018 (post-law) by five arthroplasty surgeons in Florida. Prescribed opioid quantity in morphine milligram equivalents (MME), quantity of refills, and number of prescribers were recorded for each patient's 90-day postsurgical episode. The differences between pre-law and post-law prescription data and short-term postoperative pain levels were compared.

Results:

The average total MME was notably reduced by over 30% for all time periods for the post-law group. The average MME per patient decreased by 169 MME at the time of discharge, by 245 MME during subsequent postoperative visits, and by 414 MME for the 90-day postsurgical episode (P < 0.001 for all). The quantity of refills was unchanged (1.6 vs. 1.6, P = 0.885). The total number of prescribers per patient for the 90-day postsurgical episode was unchanged (1.31 vs. 1.24 prescribers/patient, P = 0.16). Postoperative pain levels were similar at discharge (3.6 pre-law vs. 3.3 post-law, P = 0.272).

Discussion:

Restrictive opioid legislation was associated with notably reduced postoperative opioid (MME) prescribed per patient after TKA at the time of discharge and for the entire 90-day postsurgical episode. There was no increase in the number of prescribers or refills required by patients.

Comorbidity, Racial, and Socioeconomic Disparities in Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty at High Versus Low‐Volume Centers
Authors: Zalikha Abdul K. , Almsaddi Tarek , Nham Fong , Hussein Inaya Hajj , El-Othmani Mouhanad M.
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to compare the epidemiologic and demographic profiles and inpatient postoperative complication and economic outcomes of patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty of the hip and knee (TJA) at high-volume centers (HVCs) versus low-volume centers (LVCs) using a large national registry.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study used data from the National Inpatient Sample from 2006 to the third quarter of 2015. Discharges representing patients aged 40 years or older receiving a primary total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty were included. Patients were stratified into those undergoing their procedure at HVCs versus LVCs. Epidemiologic, demographic, and inpatient postoperative complications and economic outcomes were comparatively analyzed between groups.

Results:

A total of 7,694,331 TJAs were conducted at HVCs while 1,044,358 were conducted at LVCs. Patients at LVCs were more likely to be female, be Hispanic, be non-Hispanic Black, and use Medicare and Medicaid than patients at HVCs. Of the 29 Elixhauser comorbidities examined, 14 were markedly higher at LVCs while 11 were markedly higher at HVCs. Patients who underwent TJA at LVCs were more likely to develop cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematoma/seroma, wound dehiscence, and postoperative infection complications and were more likely to die during hospitalization. Patients at HVCs were more likely to develop postoperative anemia. Length of stay and total charges were higher at LVCs compared with HVCs.

Discussion:

There are notable differences in the demographics, epidemiologic characteristics, and inpatient outcomes of patients undergoing TJA at HVCs versus LVCs. Attention should be directed to identifying and applying the specific resources, processes, and practices that improve outcomes at HVCs while referral practices and centralization efforts should be mindful to not worsen already existing disparities.

The spread of covid-19 in Indonesia requires all Cadets on campus under the Ministry of Transportation in Indonesia to be conducted online. Politeknik Penerbangan Indonesia Curug is one of the schools under the Ministry of Transportation that applies in the Covid-19 epidemic to online learning through the Zoom application. Zoom.us provides a version of Zoom Education as a form of CSR provided to schools affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Online learning's effectiveness is very important, so cadets understand the lessons during the Teaching and Learning Activities (KBM). This study aims to understand how effective online learning is conducted at Politeknik Penerbangan Indonesia Curug using the Zoom application. This research uses a qualitative research method and data collection techniques by conducting interview techniques. This research resulted in online learning conducted with a zoom application at Politeknik Penerbangan Indonesia Curug. Online learning got an excellent response from cadets because it offered greater flexibility in their studies. Online learning makes cadets more independent but also encourages cadets more active when learning. In addition, acceptance and the understanding delivered by lecturers can be felt by the Cadets at Politeknik Penerbangan Indonesia Curug. But this online learning system also has weaknesses: limited cadets quota, which causes not all cadets to go online by activating the video so that lecturers cannot see all activities carried out by cadets.

Jeu et théorie du duende de Federico García Lorca : l'incarnation d'un « style vivant »
Authors: Riegler Anne-Sophie
Published: January 2023

L'objet de cet article est de questionner la catégorie littéraire et/ou esthétique sous laquelle il convient de ranger l'œuvre de Federico García Lorca Jeu et théorie du duende. Ce texte, écrit et prononcé entre 1930 et 1934 en Amérique latine, est généralement considéré comme une conférence. Et en effet, Lorca présente lui-même son texte comme didactique : officiellement, ce dernier expose une « leçon simple » sur l'identité espagnole. Il existe cependant de bonnes raisons de penser que nous n'avons pas ici affaire à une conférence de type traditionnel. Celle-ci présente un certain anti-académisme en raison de sa tournure poétique, et semble capable de produire une émotion esthétique comme le ferait aussi une performance artistique. On peut ainsi penser qu'il s'agit d'une « conférence-performance ». L’enjeu officieux du texte est en effet de défendre une théorie/pratique selon laquelle le savoir véritable n'est autre que celui qui est performé par le corps, par excellence celui de Lorca.

Published: February 2023

IKM PT. Sangkara merupakan salah satu IKM di Kota Bogor yang memproduksi minyak kelapa murni. Dalam produksi minyak kelapa tersebut, dihasilkan limbah tempurung kelapa yang dibiarkan menumpuk dan dibuang begitu saja ke lingkungan. Pada akhirnya, hal ini dapat menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan karena tempurung kelapa tidak mudah diurai oleh mikroorganisme karena teksturnya yang keras. Umumnya, tempurung kelapa diolah lebih lanjut menjadi arang yang penggunaannya terbatas untuk kebutuhan memasak. Sebenarnya, arang tempurung kelapa tersebut dapat diolah lebih lanjut sehingga memiliki daya guna dan daya jual yang lebih tinggi, yaitu pengolahannya menjadi briket arang tempurung kelapa. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka tim PkM Politeknik AKA Bogor melakukan pelatihan kepada IKM PT. Sangkara mengenai pengolahan limbah tempurung kelapa menjadi briket arang yang diharapkan dapat mengatasi isu pencemaran lingkungan, membuka peluang bisnis baru, serta menghasilkan sumber bahan bakar alternatif. Briket arang yang dibuat dalam kegiatan pelatihan telah diuji kualitasnya meliputi kadar air, kadar abu, dan nilai kalor briket dan diperoleh nilai berturut-turut sebesar xxxx. Ketiga nilai tersebut menunjukkan bahwa kualitas briket yang dibuat telah memenuhi standar di pasaran.

Localizing Content: The Roles of Technical & Professional Communicators and Machine Learning in Personalized Chatbot Responses
Authors: Hocutt Daniel , Ranade Nupoor , Verhulsdonck Gustav
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study demonstrates that microcontent, a snippet of personalized content that responds to users' needs, is a form of localization reliant on a content ecology. In contributing to users' localized experiences, technical communicators should recognize their work as
part of an assemblage in which users, content, and metrics augment each other to produce personalized content that can be consumed by and delivered through artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted technology.
 Method: We use an exploratory case study on an AI-driven chatbot to
demonstrate the assemblage of user, content, metrics, and AI. By understanding assemblage roles and function of different units used to build AI systems, technical and professional communicators can contribute to microcontent development. We define microcontent as a localized form of content
deployed by AI and quickly consumed by a human user through online interfaces.
 Results: We identify five insertion points where technical communicators can participate in localizing content:
 • Creating structured content for bots to better meet user needs

• Training corpora for bots with data-informed user personas that can better address specific needs of user groups
 • Developing chatbot user interfaces that are more responsive to user needs
 • Developing effective human-in-the-loop approaches by moderating
content for refining future human-chatbot interactions
 • Creating more ethically and user-centered data practices with different stakeholders.
 Conclusion: Technical communicators should teach, research, and practice competencies and skills to advocate for
localized users in assemblages of user, content, metrics, and AI.

The work highlights the value of Indigenous testimonios as a UX method for gathering narratives that trace a user's experience through a collective voice. Testimonios also trace users' social and cultural contexts while prompting participants to exercise their agency and promote social change.
Method:This UX study engages Indigenous testimonios as a primary method. Mapping testimonios allows researchers to explore a participant's narrative arc that begins with a personal experience that links a collective struggle resulting from a system of oppression and ends with a call for social change.
Results:Using testimonios as a UX method yielded data that traced individual and collective pain points that defined the critical issues with which Indigenous interpreters and translators grapple and emphasized their civic engagement, amplifying their agency through a method situated in their contexts. This work also highlightsdialogueanddesahogo, or emotional relief, as key elements of testimonios shared in a collective setting. This study shows that Indigenous interpreters and translators, as technical communicators, are foremost community activists.
Conclusion:A testimonio method prompts participants to reflect on issues at a deeper level through narratives and dialogue. It also engages the unique differences of participants while revealing general similarities. Testimonios can ultimately help design content, products, and processes that better align with the unique contexts of Indigenous individuals and other underrepresented groups who express their needs in a collective manner.

The absence of balanced protection puts customers in a weak position. This aspect of customer protection can also be seen in the national banking business. There are two dominant problems that are often complained of by customers of banking services. First, complaints about banking products such as ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines), credit cards, and various types of savings accounts. Also included in complaints about banking products are promises of prizes and advertisements for banking products. Second, complaints about the unsympathetic and unprofessional work of officers, especially service point officers such as tellers, customer service, and security guards. From these problems it can be seen that the aspect of customer protection is a very important aspect to pay attention to and not to be violated. This type of research is normative juridical, namely by examining library materials and secondary materials. Data sources in this study are secondary data. The data collection technique used in this research is through library research techniques. Banking dispute resolution mechanisms in the context of protecting banking customers, namely Dispute Resolution through OJK in implementing dispute resolution facilities, OJK appoints facilitators who are OJK officers in the field of Consumer Education and Protection, OJK Consumer Services Directorate. OJK's authorities in the context of consumer protection, especially banking customer protection, are as follows: (a) To provide information and education to the public on the characteristics of the financial services sector, its services and products; (b) Asking financial service institutions to stop their activities if these activities have the potential to harm society; and (c) Other actions deemed necessary in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations in the financial services sector. The impact of the enactment of Law Number 21 concerning the Financial Services Authority on banking customers is that the Financial Services Authority is able to carry out the banking supervisory function. Moreover, this has been mandated in Law Number 21 of 2011.

This research examines the meaning, causes, and effects of happiness in the workplace in a government organisation, specifically within one of the Saudi Arabian Government’s Royal Commissions. It examines the impact of employee engagement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment on happiness at work by adopting Fisher’s framework (2010). The data was collected using a simple random sampling approach, and a questionnaire survey was designed and distributed to employees working in this government organization. Three thousand people were targeted using the convenience approach, and the response rate was 23.5%. The demographic data analysis was conducted using a descriptive statistical approach, and the hypothesis was tested using correlation and regression analysis. The results reveal that workplace happiness depends mainly on organizational commitment; however, employee engagement and job satisfaction also contribute to the individual’s happiness at work.

Authors: Shanmugam Jeevithan , Kumar Mohan , G Dhanasekar , Ravikumar Shruthi
Published: January 2023

Context: The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of anemia among adolescents 10 to 19 years of age disaggregated by age group and gender. We also assessed the determinants of anemia among adolescents.
Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out between July and November 2019 in a senior secondary public school, located in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India using a predesigned, semi-structured, pretested proforma that included haemoglobin estimation using oxyhemoglobin method.
Results: The overall prevalence of anemia was 88.6% (95% CI 87.2 to 89.8); it was ten percent points higher in females (93.8%, 95% CI 92.1 to 95.1) compared to males (83.9%, 95% CI 81.7 to 85.8). Multivariate regression analysis showed that early adolescents (AOR 3.05, 95% CI 2.19 to 4.24), females (AOR 6.94, 95% CI 4.90 to 9.83), those with A or B or AB blood groups (AOR 2.58, 95% CI 1.92 to 3.49), physical inactivity (AOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.43 to 3.33) and attainment of menarche (AOR 2.69, 95% CI 1.73 to 4.21) were independent predictors of anemia in adolescents.
Conclusion: It is the need of the hour to identify vulnerable groups; factors that predict occurrence, prioritize them to design and implement an effective public health action. Also, the effectiveness of existing strategies in the form of periodic deworming, Iron and Folic acid tablets (IFA) should be reassessed.

Published: January 2023

Nursing is an important part of the health sector. The quality of service largely depends on the nurses. Nurses are at the center of the healthcare setting. In order to provide high-quality services, nurses need to work independently and create an environment where nurses can express their opinions, engage in policymaking and have a unique work environment. Nurses need to be guaranteed rights, dignity, and quality opportunities. However, nurses have been facing a number of factors over the past two decades that are hampering the quality of service in the health sector. If these challenges cannot be reduced from Bangladesh, there will be a major health crisis over the country.

Authors: Cantos Aldaz Francisco Javier , Sanahuja Ribés Aida , Moliner Miravet Lidón
Published: January 2023

Este estudio explora el impacto de los relatos de vida de docentes LGTBIQ+ sobre las percepciones del alumnado del máster de profesorado de la Universitat Jaume I de Castellón acerca de dos cuestiones: 1) la diversidad sexo-genérica y 2) las barreras y los procesos de empoderamiento que se encuentra el profesorado disidente de la norma cisheterosexual en los contextos educativos. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo con un diseño de encuesta que recogió información cualitativa de un total de 55 estudiantes del máster de Secundaria. Se optó por un análisis mixto realizado a través de la herramienta MAXQDA 2020. Los resultados muestran cómo el estudiantado valora de manera muy positiva los relatos de vida de docentes LGTBIQ+, subrayando el valor de los testimonios, la visibilización del colectivo, las implicaciones en su imaginario finalizada la sesión, el compromiso, la conciencia, el interés y, en algunos casos, un cambio de creencias. También se apuntan algunas barreras (conflictos con la diversidad sexo-genérica y familiar y en los procesos identitarios) y algunos procesos de empoderamiento (aceptación, respeto, respuesta educativa a la diversidad y visibilización). Los relatos de vida de docentes LGTBIQ+ se erigen como una herramienta altamente valiosa en la formación inicial del profesorado.
Classical Abstraction versus Romantic Abstraction: Towards a Shift in Consciousness
Authors:   Technion Institute of Technology, Shorkend Dr. Daniel
Published: January 2023

In this brief essay, I outline the two fundamental strands of art: The Classical and the Romantic. I illustrate these notions with key examples culled from the history of art. I argue that an extreme of either side propels art forward, but this is opposed to the larger stream of life in which balance and a middle road is called for. I then argue that through consciousness of art (…or science…etc.) and of the aesthetic, a second-order reflective stance is possible which, together with a moral sensibility, evolves a consciousness that may improve the quality of life for individuals and collectively.
