Educating the Human Subject
Authors: Smith Marc
Published: November 2019

The transition from 'classical' to 'modern' culture has meant the disappearance of any normative, universal, and absolute culture in which all humanity is to be educated. But that, in itself, does not mean that there is now nothing 'transcending' culture that philosophy can teach humanity. I argue that Bernard Lonergan's analysis of the rational, self-conscious subject, as constituted by the conscious operations of experiencing, understanding, judging, and deciding, provides a 'fixed base, an invariant pattern' as the condition for the possibility of educating humanity.
Sartre On Our Responsibility For Dead Lives
Authors: Gordon Haim , Gordon Rivca
Published: November 2019

Historical research was one of Jean-Paul Sartre's major concerns. Sartre's biographical studies and thought indicate that history is not only a field in which you gather facts, events, and processes, but it is a worthy challenge which includes a grave personal responsibility: my responsibility to the dead lives that preceded me. Sartre's writings suggest that accepting this responsibility can be a source of wisdom. Few historians, however, view history as transcending the orderly presenting and elucidating of facts, events, and processes. I contend that Sartre's writings suggest a personally enhancing commitment. A lucid and honest response to the challenges and demands of history and the dead lives that preceded my own existence is an engagement that requires courage, wisdom, and thought. The consequences of this commitment for teaching history is discussed.
Vico’s New Science
Authors: Vincenzo Joseph P.
Published: November 2019

In Vico’s New Science wisdom is understood in a double sense. On the one hand, wisdom means the poetic wisdom that provides intelligibility for the peoples of the nations during their early stages of development. On the other hand, wisdom means the noetic knowledge gained by the Vichian scientist who contemplates concrete historicity in the light of the New Science. By means of an examination of three principle aspects of Vico’s science, and by looking to his conception of the origin of the most rudimentary institutions of humanity, primordial piety— fear of the mythic other— is shown to be the origin of poetic wisdom. And, by focusing on the necessity of surmounting the conceit of scholars and the conceit of nations for a science of universal history, philosophical piety— openness to the wholly Other— is revealed as the ground of philosophical wisdom. This paper sets out to show how Vico’s science of the principles of humanity is, at the same time, a science of the unity of piety and wisdom.
A morte, um dispositivo de poder e controle dos corpos gays
Authors: Oliveira Rubenil da Silva , Simões Maria do Perpétuo Socorro Galvão
Published: November 2019

O presente artigo pretendeu analisar o fenômeno da morte nas narrativas gays enquanto dispositivo de poder e controle dos corpos dos homoafetivos. Para isso, como corpus literário tomou-se os romances – Stella Manhattan (1991), de Silviano Santiago; O terceiro travesseiro (2007), de Nelson Luiz de Carvalho e Confissões ao Mar (2010), de Kadu Lago. Como corpus teórico, buscou-se fundamentar a argumentação em Foucault (2014 e 2017), Agamben (2005, 2010), Louro (2013), Hall (2014), Bhabha (2013), Mott (2003) e outros teóricos. O confronto entre a teoria e os textos literários selecionados leva à sustentação da tese de que a morte nas narrativas gays reproduz a voz da sociedade patriarcal que cerceia qualquer identidade ou comportamento contrário às normas por ela legitimadas. Portanto, a morte não é um fenômeno isolado, é resultado da não obediência à heteronormatividade e punição aos corpos gays que não anularam a sua identidade sexual.
Soberania e uma lavoura profana: reflexões sobre a biopolítica na prosa de Raduan Nassar
Authors: Santos Elijames Moraes
Published: November 2019

Por considerar que a narrativa do romance Lavoura Arcaica é sedimentada num contexto patriarcal, proveniente de uma cultura mediterrânea (judaico-cristã), o presente estudo objetiva refletir sobre os desdobramentos da norma que mobiliza os confrontos da comunidade familiar. Desse modo poderemos visualizar as duas partes que divergem em suas posturas: a do soberano (figura do pai) que tenta normatizar os membros do corpo por meio de um estado de exceção, e a do filho pródigo (André) que profana o espaço da lavoura, semeando a desunião dos laços da família, o que culmina com a tragédia. Assim, os fundamentos do nosso estudo partem das leituras de Esposito (2011); Agamben (2007; 2014) e Foucault (1988; 2006).
A memória como recurso para a auto revolução
Authors: Costa Alline Araujo
Published: November 2019

A proposta do trabalho é observar o clima tenso das catástrofes e as formas em que essas têm se manifestado nas narrativas. Deste modo, com o olhar mais atento nas produções literárias, para análise estão Verde Vagomundo e Nineteen Eighty-Four. O romance publicado em 1974 por Benedicto Monteiro faz parte de uma tetralogia que envolve diversos temas entre eles estão a simplicidade de um caboclo crédulo em si mesmo (Miguel dos Santos Prazeres) e em seus sonhos e prazeres, a simplicidade de uma região pacata do interior do Pará, as cintilações do que rege o poder estatal da nação em tal período, a ditadura militar, e a memória, os dois últimos pontos são os temas que norteiam essa pesquisa. De outro modo, ainda que na mesma perspectiva, vê-se Winston. Como é descrito a seguir: “Tentou localizar alguma lembrança de infância que lhe dissesse se Londres sempre fora assim” (ORWELL, 2009, p. 13). A partir desse ponto da narrativa, percebe-se que Winston saiu em busca de reconstruir as memórias do seu passado e de uma Londres sem revolução, a fim de que a partir dessas descobertas, de uma Londres sem revolução, tivesse a ação de voltar-se contra o sistema instaurado pelo ditador. Tais memórias desencadearam diversas ações resistentes e subversivas em ambos personagens, das duas narrativas. Haviam constantes flesh’s recordativos ou criações deles para justificar a necessidade de se voltar no tempo e então justificar o presente para uma possível e futura revolução que não chegara. Deste modo, as análises dos destaques narrativos abrem precedentes para discussões no campo das teorias que envolve temas como poder soberano; memória – rememoração; “Docilização” - domesticação, uma vez que esses terão que enfrentar alguns mecanismos de silenciamento para então serem paralisados em seus planos de resistência e emancipação.

Authors: Roitberg Guilherme Prado , Baptista Fabiana Maria
Published: November 2019

O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em analisar a partir do romance Incidente em Antares de Érico Veríssimo a relevância das distopias na crítica ao autoritarismo. Após apresentarmos as principais características do pensamento utópico e da distopia enquanto gênero literário, investigamos de que maneira Veríssimo denunciou através de sua sociedade distópica as mais profundas contradições de um país historicamente assolado por golpes de Estado e ditaduras militares. O trabalho almeja demonstrar, por fim, a atualidade da crítica de Veríssimo frente à permanência do pensamento autoritário, das desigualdades sociais e das violações aos direitos humanos no Brasil.
Literatura Distópica, ontem e hoje: um percurso na História e na Ficção
Authors: Medeiros Valéria da Silva , Mateus Andrea Martins Lameirão
Published: November 2019

Este artigo reflete sobre o renovado interesse pela distopia diante do cenário econômico e político mundial, partindo de reflexões de Antonio Candido (1995) e Erich Fromm (1961) sobre o otimismo diante das possibilidades de avanço tecnológico para a solução de problemas que permitiriam o progresso moral e material do indivíduo e da humanidade que animou o século XVIII. No século XIX, a ficção científica estava seus primeiros passos através de contos de antecipação científica e a constatação do aumento progressivo da tecnologia versus o crescimento da desigualdade social encontraria sua expressão na distopia. Já distante do cenário do pós Segunda Guerra Mundial, universos diegéticos que expressam uma visão negativa de um futuro muito próximo autoritário e baseados na controle da sociedade e na supressão das liberdades individuais ganham espaço seja na literatura, no cinema, nas séries para a TV ou na adaptação com enorme sucesso para TV como é o caso exemplar de O conto da aia, de Margareth Atwood, de 1985, que utilizaremos como modelo deste tipo de distopia.
Um presente para o futuro: a distopia contemporânea e suas interseções com a experiência pós-moderna
Authors: Portela Millena Cristina Silva , Bonfim Maria Aracy
Published: November 2019

O advento da modernidade e o rompimento com a tradição geraram uma série de transformações, além de novas formas de concepção de mundo; a tradição saiu de cena, mas levou toda a sua solidez e as estruturas que, até então, mantinham o mundo em seu curso. Os resultados da modernidade e tudo o que vivemos hoje compõem a inusitada experiência chamada pós-modernidade. Neste percurso de descobertas, a literatura segue como um dos principais meios de exposição da expressão humana e de transformação de sua sociedade. Considerando a importância da compreensão de tais fenômenos, o presente artigo tem como objetivo o estudo da literatura distópica contemporânea como um dos gêneros que privilegiam a experiência pós-moderna através de sua crítica e reflexão das problemáticas deste conturbado tempo, assim buscamos aporte teórico nas obras de Bauman (2001) e Harvey (2008), Gregory Claeys (2013) (2017), Baccolini e Moylan (2003), Santos (2004) e Debord (2005).

MODELING AND SIMULATION OF THE KNOWLEDGE GROWTH PROCESS AMONG NEW ENERGY TECHNOLOGY FIRMS IN THE DISTRIBUTED INNOVATION NETWORK
Authors: LIU GUOXIN , YE JUN , ARGYRES CHRISTOPHE
Published: November 2019

Against the background of the distributed innovation network, collaborative innovation among new energy technology firms is the most crucial network link. The process of collaborative R&D involves significant data exchange and knowledge management across firm boundaries. Moreover, the context(refers to the strategic context,the cultural context, the institutional context and the network context) of new energy technology firms in the network and the R&D among these firms massively impact overall knowledge emergence in the network. In order to explore the optimal knowledge growth process among new energy technology firms in the distributed network, the influence of collaborative context and collaborative behavior vis-à-vis knowledge growth was discussed in this study based on the features of multi-agent technology from the perspective of collaborative R&D among the firms. On the basis of a theoretical deduction and empirical test, the model of behavioral interaction among multiple agents was built and the simulation applied to the model via the Netlogo platform. The results show that, in a single cycle, the collaborative context exerts a positive impact on knowledge growth among new energy technology firms. However, certain differences exist. Such as the fact that the promotional effect of knowledge sharing vis-à-vis collaborative behavior on knowledge growth decreases as the difference in knowledge potential among firms in the network decreases,until it disappears. Moreover, when the new energy technology firms with a high knowledge potential cease diffusing knowledge, knowledge growth in the whole network stagnates. If there is no information sharing among new energy technology firms in the network, then the collaboration between them may collapse. Specific asset investment plays a positive role in the promotion of knowledge spillover and knowledge diffusion among the firms, while also facilitating knowledge growth among new energy technology firms and improving collaborative efficiency.

Well Integrity Analysis of Injection Wells during CO2 Sequestration, Tarim Basin, China
Authors: Zhang Jingtian , Guo Qingfeng , Mu Lingyu , Cai Zhixiang , Li Mu , Li Yan
Published: November 2019

Tarim Basin is the biggest oil and gas bearing basin in China. The ultra-deep formations in the North Border of Tarim Basin is characterized by ultra-high temperature, high pressure, and ultra-thick composite salt-gypsum formations, are widely distributed, so it will bring great challenge to well integrity during CO2 sequestration. Therefore it is necessary to evaluate the impact of temperature decrease and salt rock creep on injection well integrity.

A numerical model is used to analyze the impact of temperature decrease and salt rock creep on injection well integrity in this process of CO2 injection and obtain a critical temperature drop value. A set of new ideas for casing selection was proposed based upon long-term corrosion rate of different materials calculated by De. Warrd corrosion prediction model. Well B in Tarim Oilfield was designed in this method, and design results were verified by performing laboratory experiments.

The results show that under some circumstances the micro-annulus between casing and cement sheath can be changed by salt creep or self-healed. The mechanism of casing damage in salt layers was preliminarily revealed. A set of methods is proposed for casing material selection in CO2 corrosion environment is proposed: corrosion rate of different materials is calculated and converted into long-term corrosion rate. Then the maximum allowable wear extent of the casing is calculated according to casing strength requirement. Finally, casing selection material is determined. The mechanism of casing damage in salt layers was preliminarily revealed during CO2 sequestration. It is indicated that casing damage is mainly caused by the non-uniform load induced by the creep of salt-gypsum layers, the low temperature, and the poor cementing quality.

This new method can effectively reduce cost of casing material selection and make for guaranteeing oilfield development and CO2 sequestration while maintaining wellbore integrity and controllable well control safety.

Published: November 2019

The objective of this study was to investigate gas channeling behavior and its governing factors during water-alternating-gas (WAG) flooding in high-temperature and high-pressure reservoirs. According to the geological characteristics and development conditions of the target carbonate reservoir, various core models were fabricated and the relevant experimental method was designed based on the similarity criterion of physical simulation. A series of experiments were performed to discussed the production performance of WAG flooding, and the effect of core heterogeneity and injection rate on oil displacement efficiency was investigated. Experimental results showed that WAG flooding presented great potential of enhanced oil recovery and good effect on delaying water and gas production. The severer the core heterogeneity, the smaller the fluctuation range and the less the fluctuation frequency of water cut and gas-oil ratio. The effect of WAG flooding on water and gas production control became worse with an increase in core heterogeneity. The injection rate presented less significant effect on oil recovery compared to core heterogeneity. Water and gas breakthrough occurred earlier at a higher injection rate. This experimental study could provide guiding suggestions for reasonable implementation of WAG flooding in the oilfield.
Art in Women and Gender Studies
Authors: Deepwell Katy
Published: November 2019

In this talk, I want to examine the place of art in women and gender studies, and how these areas draw upon the interdisciplinary promise of feminist theory when considering cultural production. Art history has been part of women’s studies and the work of women artists is studied, but in the pre-dominant switch to gender, sexuality and representation in course structures, I want to draw attention to areas of enquiry that are missing from debates about feminisms in relation to contemporary art. I will refer back to different understandings of the role of art within the women’s movement in the 1970s and to the situation of women artists in the art world then and now which are contributing to this situation. Artists and artworks have produced a visual language for feminist protest and produced works which are strongly issue-based and politically engaged with regard to feminist issues, but visual art itself is marginal in most women and gender studies by comparison with research on mass media, film and literature. Studying gender, sexuality and representation (the dominant course, where feminism appears in arts curricula and visual arts in gender studies), art emerges again as a key area of interest, but this provides a very specific focus on certain types of visual representation and I will argue, as a result, other formulations of the relations between aesthetics and politics are not at the centre of these debates.
Supporting Young Offenders to Communicate in the Youth Justice System
Authors: Sowerbutts Anna
Published: November 2019

Abstract 

Objective: The scoping review will collate literature from different disciplines on supporting young offenders to communicate in the youth justice system. Specifically, it will map the evidence on a) the communication requirements of youth justice interactions; and b) how to support young offenders to communicate in this context.

Introduction: Young offenders disproportionately present with unidentified Developmental Language Disorder. Successfully participating in the youth justice system demands considerable proficiency in language, and a large proportion of young offenders will thus struggle to engage in the required processes. Although there is emerging evidence regarding the specific communication tasks that young offenders are likely to struggle with, and published guidelines exist for supporting young offenders to communicate, it is unclear to what extent these recommendations are substantiated by evidence. This scoping review will collate what is currently known about supporting young offenders to communicate, identifying gaps and trends in research.  

Inclusion criteria: The review will consider publications which focus on young offenders, describe the communication requirements of the youth justice system, and/or provide guidelines for supporting young offenders to communicate in this context. Publications only concerning victims or witnesses will be excluded. 

Methods: Five databases will be searched, using identified keywords from relevant papers. To identify further studies, reference lists will be scanned and the grey literature will also be searched. Relevant data will be extracted from included publications using a pre-defined tool, and a narrative and visual summary of the findings will be presented.
Influence of Meteorological Parameters on Particle Pollution (PM2.5 and PM10) in the Tropical Climate of Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Onuorah Christopher U. , Leton Tambari G. , Momoh Yusuf O. L.
Published: November 2019

Aims: This study explores the influence of meteorological parameters such as wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, air temperature and relative humidity on PM2.5 and PM10 concentration.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Woji, an urban area of Port Harcourt city in Nigeria, between May and December 2019 covering wet and dry season.

Methodology: The PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations were monitored for 236 days using photometric laser based particulate monitor while meteorological parameters were collected using Misol weather station mounted 10m above ground at Woji monitoring location.

Results: PM concentration for all the months under study were below USEPA 24-hr standard except the month of December with PM2.5 = 58.8 μg/m³ and PM10 = 164.5 μg/m³.

The result showed a significant but positively strong correlation between PM2.5 and PM10 (r = 0.97, P < .001). The wind speed significantly influenced PM2.5 and PM10 concentration with a weak negative correlation (r = - 0.22 and -0.23) respectively at P < .001. Also, PM2.5 and PM10 concentration exhibited a weak negative but significant correlation with rainfall (r = - 0.05 and -0.05) and air temperature (r = - 0.12 and -0.14) respectively at P< .001. Relative humidity showed a weak negative but not significant correlation with PM2.5 concentration (r = - 0.01) while PM10 exhibited weak but significant correlation with relative humidity (r = 0.04).

Conclusion: The PM concentration exceedances recorded in month of December could be attributed to dry dusty north east trade wind that comes with harmattan as well as high atmospheric stability which is associated with low wind speed. The study revealed that meteorological parameters such as temperature, wind speed and rainfall plays significant role in the reduction of particulate matter loading through air dispersion, atmospheric instability and washout process  while relative humidity increases PM10 concentration.
Overview of Optimality of New Direct Optimal Methods for the Transportation Problems
Authors: Jamali Sanaullah , Mujtaba Shaikh Muhammad , Sattar Soomro Abdul
Published: November 2019

In this paper, we investigate the claimed optimality of a new method – Revised Distribution (RDI) Method – for finding optimal solution of balanced and unbalanced transportation models directly and compare the RDI method with other such methods. A large set of problems have been tested by RDI and other methods, and the results were compared with the Modified distribution (MODI) method – an optimal method. We found that the mostly the results of RDI are not optimal. For reference to prove our observations, we have added three example transportation problems here in this work and compared their results with MODI method to show that the RDI method like the direct exponential approach (DEA) method is not optimal method; but it is just an initial basic feasible solution (IBFS) for transportation problems.
Why Do Migrants Remit? Empirical Evidence from Kenya
Authors: Maara John N. , Manda Damiano K. , Kiiru Joy
Published: November 2019

Aims: Remittances both external and internal are very important to the Kenyan economy. In view of this, this study improves the understanding of the drivers of remittances in Kenya. In addition, the study empirically tests the main theories of remittances namely altruism, self interest and implicit contractual agreement.

Methodology: This paper analyzes migrant’s remittance behaviour in Kenya using household survey data from World Bank 2009 African Migration Project. Since a large share of migrants does not remit, Heckman sample selection model is suggested and estimated using Limited Information Maximum Likelihood method.

Results: The results show that external migrants have a higher probability to remit and, on average send higher levels of remittances back home relative to internal migrants. Internal and external migrants with higher levels of education prior to migration and employed migrants remit more both at extensive and intensive margins. External migrants have a higher probability to remit and send larger amounts of money to higher-income households while internal migrants have a higher probability to remit and send higher levels to lower-income households.

Conclusion: Therefore, the empirical results suggest that internal and external remittances are motivated by altruism and inter-temporal contractual agreement between a migrant and the household. The results also provide support for external remittances as being motivated by self-interest.
Formulation Development and Facial Skin Evaluation of Serum Containing Jellose from Tamarind Seeds
Authors: Amnuaikit Thanaporn , Khakhong Suphatsa , Khongkow Pasarat
Published: November 2019

Jellose is a natural polysaccharide that is extracted from tamarind seed kernel. This natural polymer has many good properties to be a useful excipient for pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical products. It can used as a thickening agent, suspending agent, viscosity enhancer, emulsifying agent and more. Recently, it was reported that jellose can inhibit tyrosinase enzyme and has antioxidant activity which makes this ingredient interesting to be utilized for skin lightening in cosmeceutical products. The aim of this study was to formulate a facial serum product containing jellose as one of active ingredients, evaluate the physicochemical properties and stability, and also obtain a clinical result of product with the help of volunteers. Two types of jellose serums were developed: oil in water formula; and oil-free formula. The stability of serum was studied under heating and cooling cycle tests for 6 cycles, and then placed in room temperature (30±1°C) for 3 months. Results showed that both types of serums had good stability. The physicochemical properties such as viscosity, pH, antioxidant activity and tyrosinase enzyme inhibition activity were evaluated to select the optimal formulation. The selected formulation was tested by applying it on the facial area of 35 healthy volunteers aged 35-75 years, and then analyzing with Skin Visual Analyzer at 15, 30 and 60 days. It was found that the jellose serum can reduce skin roughness, has an anti-wrinkle property, and brightened the skin significantly when regularly used for at least 30 days. During this study, none of the volunteers reported any kind of allergies and the overall satisfaction assessment of jellose serum was excellent. It was concluded that jellose can become a novel and potential ingredient in cosmeceuticals.
The Face at the End of the Road

In the bicultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori (people of the land) and Tauiwi (the other tribe, i.e. Pākehā and other non-indigenous New Zealanders), continue to be represented in binary opposition to each other. This has real consequences for the way in which health practitioners think about and respond to Māori. Reflecting on ideas explored in my PhD thesis, I suggest that Māori identity is much more complex than popular representations of Māori subjectivity allow. In this article I offer an alternative narrative on the social construction of Māori identity by contesting the idea of a singular, quintessential subjectivity by uncovering the other face/s subjugated beneath biculturalism’s preferred subjects.

“Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who is the Fairest of Them all?”
Authors: Alldred-Lugton Susan
Published: November 2019

This paper explores what is seen and what is not, or cannot be seen, within the therapeutic space, as exemplified by the process of what can be seen in the “mirror”, that is, in and through the eyes of the other. In doing so it draws on the concepts of projection and projective identification, as well as on literature in the form of Oscar Wilde’s (1890/2003) novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and on clinical practice. In linking theory and literature with examples from clinical practice, I examine what it may feel like to look different, and explain the tensions of being alongside others who look different, but who may have many shared, internal experiences to contribute to a relationship with someone, such as a psychotherapist, who, on the surface, appears different to them.

Losing Face
Authors: O'Connor Maria
Published: November 2019

The welcoming of the face and the work of justice — which conditions the birth of truth itself — are not interpretable in terms of disclosure. The relation between the same and the other is not always reducible to knowledge of the other by the same, nor even to the revelations of the other to the same, which is already fundamentally different from disclosure.

Why consider the client's partner in psychotherapy?
Authors: Hay Jon , Appel Stephen
Published: November 2019

The bi-directional impacts of an individual’s psychotherapy on their partner and of the partner and their relationship on the therapy should be a consideration throughout treatment. There is a bias in the literature towards either an individual or a couples approach to therapy, but only scattered mention of working with a blend of the two. This article considers how, during the process of change in individual therapy, new problems might arise in a client’s romantic relationship. Furthermore, the client’s significant other might resist or otherwise hamper their partner’s therapy if they do not accept or understand the changes that are taking place. Finally, some ethical arguments are raised which add to the case that psychotherapists should not ignore the impact that psychotherapy has on their client’s relationships and vice versa.

Which therapeutic relationship?
Authors: Withers Russell
Published: November 2019

This article briefly considers the range of therapeutic relationships in Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT); overviews the practice of IDT; presents a short cameo of using IDT with a young client; and discusses how both intrapsychic relationships and intersubjective relationships (when configured in drawings) can be seen to change as different “levels” of client work are reached and different “stages” of therapeutic progress are achieved, which raises the question: “Which therapeutic relationship is most pertinent to the work at hand?”

The War Hotel
Authors: Solomon Paul
Published: November 2019

War frames our lives. We live, as Billy Bragg (1985) put it, “Between the Wars”; or we live during wars, or after wars; or we live in terror of the threat of war; or get passionately aroused into war. We may watch helplessly as TV news shows us events of horror and violence overseas; on 19th June this year New Zealanders watched video on TV3 News of Kiwi troops under fire in Afghanistan, recorded on a soldier’s helmet-cam. Recent events unfolded once more on TVNZ with gut-wrenching inevitability: I watched as two soldiers were killed, and four injured. The survivors probably will return home traumatised. My interest in reviewing The War Hotel was personal: my grandfather fought in the First World War, my father in the Second World War. I served in the Israeli Defense Force, 1965-1967, and soon felt appalled by Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Some of my Jewish extended family perished in Poland during the Shoah. All humanity is touched by war, in varying degrees of separation.
Figure and Ground
Authors: Milton Chris
Published: November 2019

An enquiry into “what analysis is” benefits from consideration of the phenomenology of analysis. Drawing on the experience of becoming and being an analyst, as well as using fictionalised case material, this enquiry reveals analysis phenomenologically as a process of living encounter with the unconscious. The unconscious manifests in many different ways each of which provides an opportunity for such encounter. By contrast, much of psychotherapy practice is a process that focuses on the client’s narrative and formulations of that narrative rather than on a process of the manifestation and encounter with the unconscious. In this article I argue that these processes shift back and forth in the manner of figure and ground and that analysis occurs when there is an equilibrium point between these two processes which itself moves more towards facilitating the manifestation of, and encounter with, the unconscious than towards narrative and formulation.

The Infinite Possibilities from the Ground
Authors: Van Beekum Servaas
Published: November 2019

This article is a reflection on the Social Dreaming Matrix (SDM) sessions which were held at the 2013 NZAP Annual Conference at Orakei Marae in Auckland. It describes the context of this conference and reflects on the preparation and role of the three conveners, representing the bi- and multicultural dimensions which were explored at the Conference. As a psychoanalytic discovery and development, social dreaming values the concept of “we-ness” as a means of reaching collectively-held unconscious meaning in the social domain. The article reflects on some of the most central dreams presented in the SDM sessions and on subsequent associations from each of the three sessions. The attention in the work is on broadening the ground of the material presented in the dreams and in the associations to the dreams. The SDM leaves it to the participants to energise around their own chosen figures.

Exploring the Sexual Aetiology of Violence
Authors: Sandle Rod
Published: November 2019

Many of the different theoretical and practical approaches of NZAP members to their work have Freudian theory as their historical ground, although some have diverged in different directions from this base. Freud placed sexual theory at the centre of his attempt to understand human mental suffering and it remains very relevant and useful in everyday psychodynamic clinical practice; however its scientific basis has become outdated, and this has led to the loss of its presence in the literature. This paper re-affirms Reich’s challenge to Freud not to lose faith in sexual theory, and provides an update from the perspective of population genetics. Beginning with a brief historical overview of the early development of psychodynamic sexual theory, the paper explores the associated symbolic and logical domains, as these domains fluctuate in their role as figure or ground, emphasising relationship as the key to healing. The reworking of sexual theory offers a wider community and social context providing, perhaps, a ground on which to bring our clinical knowledge to the task of understanding and working with conflict within our own community and the community at large, including the bicultural relationship between Māori and Pākehā.

The constituent paired helical filaments (PHFs) in neurofibrillary tangles are insoluble intracellular deposits central to the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other tauopathies. Full‐length tau requires the addition of anionic cofactors such as heparin to enhance assembly. We have shown that a fragment from the proteolytically stable core of the PHF, tau 297‐391 known as ‘dGAE’, spontaneously forms cross‐β‐containing PHFs and straight filaments under physiological conditions. Here, we have analysed and compared the structures of the filaments formed by dGAE in vitro with those deposited in the brains of individuals diagnosed with AD. We show that dGAE forms PHFs that share a macromolecular structure similar to those found in brain tissue. Thus, dGAEs may serve as a model system for studying core domain assembly and for screening for inhibitors of tau aggregation.

In addition to the gravimetric determination of airborne particles (total concentration), it is often necessary to selectively determine metals and their compounds in particle fractions because of their toxicological relevance. Usually, the total metal concentration is determined independently of the type of binding or oxidation state in a sample. From an occupational medical and toxicological point of view it makes sense to distinguish between different compounds of a metal, because type and extent of the toxic effect of metals depend considerably on their binding type and their solubility in the human body. In addition to the limit values of the respirable and inhalable particle fraction that must be complied, many metals have an OEL (occupational exposure limit) or MAK value that has to be checked and complied too. For cancerogenic compounds the exposure‐risk relationship has to be considered. Analysis for metals and their compounds predominantly resorts to methods, which require that the dust particle sample is brought into solution. That means the metals and their compounds contained in the sample need to be extracted, dissolved or digested. Aim of the sample preparation is the complete solution of all relevant substances to be analysed. Common digestion methods are for example acid digestion, which uses an acid mixture to digest the sample, and the suspension method, in which acetone is used to suspend the sample. An alternative sample preparation method is the microwave‐assisted pressure digestion with acid/acid mixture. In this chapter the different digestion methods are presented, discussed and compared, taking into account recent developments, in particular microwave‐assisted digestion.
