Perspective Chapter: Qualified Empathy – The Spectator Looking/Not Looking Away
Authors: Keefe John
Published: March 2024

This paper will reflect on empathy, not only as Einfühlung or ‘feeling in’ but is a qualified embodied, affective, and neurocognitive feeling. That it may be given and withheld, sometimes at or in almost the same moment. I suggest that empathy is a complex and paradoxical response to the arousing action or event. As such, empathy needs to raise questions to distinguish it from sympathy or sentimentality and bathos. I will suggest that qualified empathy is characterised by vulnerability, can be given but with a sense of vicarious frisson. Such empathy allows and demands questions be raised and asked of us. As knowing spectators of (mimetic) empathetic moments, we look with a critical distance as well ‘feeling in’, ‘there but for the grace…’, or degrees of moral disengagement toward the subject-object. This other is an ‘I’ like me in reciprocal states of mutual homeostasis and shared affordances. I suggest we place ourselves ‘beside’ the character and event or action that not only qualifies but therefore enriches our empathy as a learning katharsis of understanding.
Perspective Chapter: Exploring a Modified Portal in Shoulder Arthroscopy – A Surgical Technique for Rotator Cuff Injury and Acromioplasty
Authors: Alves Araújo Lucas , Edney de Brito Wander , Rozim Zorzi Alessandro
Published: March 2024

In conventional arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears, a standard approach involves the use of three portals. However, the anterior portal poses potential risks, including cephalic vein injury leading to hematoma formation and the need for conversion to an open surgical technique, which can be particularly challenging when the patient is positioned laterally. The primary objective of this article is to elucidate an innovative technique employing a modified anterolateral portal, thereby eliminating the need for the conventional anterior portal. This modification significantly mitigates the risk of cephalic vein injury and preserves the integrity of the anterior deltoid muscle, offering a safer and more effective approach to rotator cuff repair.
LVAD Continuing Care: A Comprehensive Guide to Long-Term Support and Management
Authors: Sobieraj Michael , Best Brisha , Ahmed Sabaa , Crawford Stephen , Barn Kulpreet
Published: March 2024

Heart failure is a growing pandemic with a rising societal burden. Heart failure affects 3.6 million people in Europe and 5 million in the United States annually. The United States alone spends 30.7 billion annually managing heart failure, and that number is expected to eclipse 70 billion by 2030. Many people are not orthotopic heart transplant candidates, and many who are may not live long enough to receive a transplant. As a result, durable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have become both a bridging therapy and a destination therapy, necessitating a robust continuing care system. LVAD programs are expanding to fill this need. This chapter aims to cover the spectrum of LVAD continuing care from initial implantation to the outpatient clinic. This chapter will cover essential care practices for maintaining LVAD function, including driveline care, battery management, and alarm response/tracking. Troubleshooting the common issues and complications patients might experience, such as low flow alarms, bleeding, infection, and right heart failure. Emphasize the importance of the primary caregiver’s involvement and how to prepare them by providing resources for education, training, and ongoing support. Lastly, it will cover ethical concerns and the role of palliative care in the process.

Parternas omställningsorganisationer i det nya arbetsmarknadspolitiska landskapet
Authors: Ennerberg Elin , Lee Jayeon
Published: March 2024

Genom reformeringen av arbetsrätten som trädde i kraft under 2022 har reglerna vid uppsägning blivit mer flexibla. Samtidigt stärktes individers möjligheter för att få omställningsstöd och kompetensutveckling via parternas förnyade omställningsavtal och omställningsorganisationer, samt genom det nya statliga omställningsstudiestödet. Omställningsorganisationerna har därmed fått ett utökat uppdrag inom arbetsmarknadspolitiken och deras roll har blivit synligare och mer institutionaliserad. Trots det finns det knappa kunskaper om vilka organisatoriska förutsättningar och konkreta arbetssätt de utgår ifrån. Genom en dokumentanalys kartlägger vi hur omställningsorganisationerna är organiserade och vilka typer av privata aktörer som anlitas av dem.

USO DE SERIES GEOMÉTRICAS PARA RESOLVER ALGUNOS EJEMPLOS DE CÁLCULO INFINITESIMAL
Authors: Guerrero Rodríguez Mario , Bravo Bolaño Oscar , Hernández Méndez Juan Luis
Published: March 2024

Las series se pueden considerar como una parte importante del tronco básico del Cálculo Infinitesimal; puesto que la derivada y la integral están asociadas a procesos infinitos, por lo que una vez que estos procesos son compactados simbólicamente puedenobtenerse resultados precisos. Esto denota la cercanía tan estrecha que existe entre estos temas, sin embargo, en los cursos normales de Cálculo raras veces (sino es que nunca) se ve esta relación. Es necesario que nuestros estudiantes de nivel superior (Ciencias e Ingenierías) empiecen a adentrarse en este tipo de tópicos para que se familiaricen con el lenguaje formal manejado en matemáticas y no presenten dificultades muy notorias en textos técnicos, principalmente de matemáticas, más avanzadas. Entonces, en este trabajo, existe el interés de mostrar la utilidad que presentan las series, particularmente las geométricas, en el estudio del Cálculo Infinitesimal. Para ello se inicia definiendo algunos términos básicos y luego se continúa con su aplicación en Cálculo, para finalmente destacarse algunas conclusiones más relevantes.
Jak chrześcijaństwo stworzyło cywilizację techniczną w „zaczarowanym [jeszcze] świecie”?
Authors: Adamski Krzysztof
Published: March 2024

This text highlights the underestimated contribution of broadly understood Christianity to the development of technological civilization. This would not have been possible without an entirely new understanding of the concept of human freedom brought about by the Christian faith. This new understanding of freedom, completely different from the one in the ancient theocratic system, by recognizing the role of the human person, led to the liberation of creativity in the areas of economic initiative and technological ingenuity. In the modern era, economic freedom became a subject of moral reflection for the Church. This work provides numerous examples of technical and economic innovation carried out by believers and discusses the necessity of developing a moral science that is adequate to new challenges. The reference point for the presented considerations is Max Weber’s concept of the “disenchantment of the world” and its interpretation by Franz-Xavier Kaufmann.
The Vienna Circle – A Modernist Project
Authors: Bazhanov Valentin A. , Kasavin Ilya T. , Nikiforov Alexander L. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

The article examines the main ideological content of the work of the community of scientists and philosophers, which entered the history of philosophy under the name “The Vienna Circle”. Representatives of this association viewed their main methodological task in the logical analysis of the language of science in order to eliminate metaphysical – pseudoscientific – concepts. They investigated the structure of scientific theories, the functions of the theory – explanation and prediction, the processes of justification, confirmation and refutation of theories. Their results were widely recognized, set down essential influence on scientific problems as well as style of philosophical and academic studies, and are still included in textbooks on the philosophy of science. The members of the Vienna Circle created the first holistic concept of science, which gave impetus to subsequent developments in the philosophy of science and served as example for the construction of similar concepts. The socio-ideological prerequisite of this philosophical movement was the task of creating a new scientific view of the world, opposing philosophical pessimism and anti-scientism. This worldview, however, was not naive-scientististic, but presented a synthetic project at the intersection of natural science, philosophy, art and social pedagogy.
The Passionate Dispassion of the Vienna Circle
Authors: Voronina Natalya N. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

This article represents the author’s reflections on the book by Karl Sigmund “Exact Thinking in Demented Times. The Vienna Circle and the Epic Quest for the Foundations of Science” and the fate of the Vienna Circle. Sigmund paints a vivid portrait of the Vienna Circle against the background of the difficult historical period in which its members lived and worked. The Vienna Circle established the tradition of liberating consciousness and science from metaphysics. But the participants of the Vienna Circle and their entourage did not manage to get rid of the humanistic issues, despite the declaration of strict scientific character. The author of the article draws attention to the internal contradiction between strict scientific topics and the existential-humanistic perception of this topic by the Vienna Circle’s authors and their likeminded people, and by Sigmund himself. The author concludes that it was thanks to this contradiction the Vienna Circle became not only a stage in the development of philosophical science, but also had a broad cultural influence on art, politics, architecture, museums, etc. The historical and philosophical tradition connects the activities of the Vienna Circle with the beginning of the divergence between the philosophical scientific and humanistic traditions in the understanding of philosophy, and the controversy between R. Carnap and M. Heidegger is an important point in this process. But Sigmund’s book gives the impression that this is not the divergence strictly scientific and humanistic traditions, but the difference between two humanistic traditions, one of them tends to express its thoughts strictly analytically.
To Be a Philosopher is to Combine Incompatibilities
Authors: Shipovalova Lada V. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

The article attempts to develop the “oxymoron formula” proposed by N.I. Kuznetsova to interpret the ideas and fate of the representatives of the Vienna Circle. The combination of incompatible reveals the content of this formula. The author of the article proposes to see a combination of incompatible, firstly, in the temporal nature of the work of the Vienna Circle, which unites, on the one hand, the desire for finality in solving problems and, on the other, openness to development. Secondly, she describes the combination of incompatible through the relation and difference of the positions of M. Schlick and O. Neurath in the discussion about protocol sentences. The author defines Schlick’s position as a philosophical desire to combine incompatible and offer a translation of affirmations as expressions describing subjective immediate experience into the intersubjective language of science, the meaning of which is emphasized by Neurath.

En este trabajo proponemos un modelo del tipo Redes de Mapas Acoplados para analizar la dinámica espacio-temporal de un sistema de tres especies interactuantes: una especie recurso y dos consumidores. El recurso es un insecto con potencial para convertirse en plaga agrícola, mientras que uno de los consumidores es un parasitoide y el otro, un depredador. Las tres especies se reproducen en la misma escala temporal, de modo que la dinámica se describe mediante un sistema de trés ecuaciones en diferencias. La especie recurso crece según la función de Beverton-Holt y el consumo se describe mediante la respuesta funcional Holling tipo III. Mediante simulaciones numéricas, observamos que el patrón de distribución espacial de las especies y la densidad temporal dependen tanto de los parámetros de la dinámica como de los de movimiento. Pueden surgir distribuciones espaciales heterogéneas estables u oscilantes, pero las especies también pueden distribuirse homogéneamente en el espacio. Por último, observamos que la inclusión del espacio no modifica la previsión de extinción obtenida únicamente por la dinámica local para algunos parámetros.

Las células están expuestas a tensiones mecánicas, ya sea a través de fuerzas externas aplicadas a los tejidos o fuerzas endógenas generadas dentro del citoesqueleto activo. Las diferencias en los estímulos son percibidas por las células y controladas por una red de proteínas de adhesión focal que regulan las vías de señalización y determinan respuestas celulares, incluida la movilidad celular, la proliferación y la diferenciación celular (destino celular). En conjunto, la capacidad de las células para percibir y responder a estímulos mecánicos, gobernada por mecano sensores y proteínas de señalización mecánica, puede denominarse mecano transducción. Si bien hay una intensa investigación en curso sobre las vías específicas involucradas en los mecanismos de respuesta mecánica, los experimentos por sí solos solo pueden proporcionar una visión general de los parámetros dinámicos para la interacción de las proteínas. La vía de adhesión focal es una red compleja y el uso de algoritmos matemáticos estocásticos puede ser una herramienta eficiente para expandir y explorar esta red mediante la construcción y resolución de un mapa de interacción reguladora. La exploración de las redes de interacción predichas puede sugerir nuevas direcciones para futuras investigaciones experimentales y proporcionar predicciones entre especies para mapeos de interacción eficientes. Aquí nuestro objetivo es describir la red que representa un subconjunto de proteínas asociadas a la adhesión focal utilizando el modelo estocástico de la Ecuación Maestra Química y arrojar más luz sobre cómo la dinámica de estas proteínas puede dirigir el comportamiento y las respuestas celulares. Nuestros resultados mostraron que nuestro modelo es capaz de describir las interacciones experimentales. Además, puede modelar la cascada temporal de eventos relacionados con respuestas a estímulos mecánicos y mostró diferentes comportamientos dinámicos basados en los parámetros cinéticos.

El impacto de las acciones humanas sobre el medio ambiente plantea varios desafíos a nivel global con soluciones que merecen la participación conjunta de los sectores productivos, políticos y de la sociedad civil. La escasez de recursos, la degradación de los ecosistemas y el cambio climático deben ser abordados con urgencia, siendo necesario un cambio de paradigma en las formas de producción y consumo. Sin embargo, a pesar de los notables avances en el reciclaje y el suprareciclaje, los rellenos sanitarios y vertederos siguen siendo la principal forma de eliminación de residuos en todo el mundo. Es más, una cantidad importante de residuos se elimina de manera ilegal afectando la calidad de vida de las comunidades que viven en zonas cercanas. Este trabajo estudia la compensación entre el retiro de contenedores de residuos y la limpieza de micro-vertederos ilegales mediante el control impulsivo. Se formula un modelo matemático de tipo estratégico, aquel que capta aspectos mínimos pero relevantes del fenómeno, para describir la dinámica de la basura.

Franchising the Future
Authors: Colomb Gregory G.
Published: March 2024

Central to the future of rhetoric and composition (or writing studies or whatever label we use) is the service mission of composition: to teach students to write. But that term service has not and will not serve us well. This essay examines the limitations and dangers of a service mission and explores a different model, that of a franchise, a public trust thatlicenses us to control the largest block of classes on most campuses but also makes us responsible for the nation’s ability to write. The franchise model carries its own limitations, but it may also point to possibilities of great new promise and familiar danger.

We identify more than fifty research centers in rhetoric and writing, past and present, and argue that they function as change agents by emphasizing collaboration and conducting research focused on publics.

Visual Rhetoric in a Culture of Fear: Impediments to Multimedia Production
Authors: Westbrook Steve
Published: March 2024

The author uses the example of a text a student was not allowed to display on his course website to explore how and why institutional ideologies particular to the historical development of composition and creative writing—especially when viewed in conjunction with current copyright law—render students’ multimedia compositions illegitimate. He suggests that the ideological apparatuses of writing instruction and the legal statutes of U.S. culture at large combine to radically restrict the production and circulation of students’ multimedia texts and inhibit students’ power as writers.

Globalization and Agency: Designing and Redesigning the Literacies of Cyberspace
Authors: Hawisher Gail E. , Selfe Cynthia L. , Guo Yi-Huey , Liu Lu
Published: March 2024

The authors explore the interdependent relationships between learning English(es) and learning digital literacies in global contexts, and, collaborating with two women who have moved and continue to move between the United States and Asia, highlight the crucial role that the practice of guanxi has played in advancing digital literacies. Their collaboration suggests that guanxi is a useful term for describing not only the multifarious constellations of connections and resources that structure the lives of individuals, but also for understanding how these connections are related to the social, cultural, ideological, and economic formations that structure the “information age.”
Performing Working-Class Identity in Composition: Toward a Pedagogy of Textual Practice
Authors: LeCourt Donna
Published: March 2024

Drawing on students’ literacy autobiographies, this article critiques the premise that academic discourse and working-class identity are not only static but also in complete opposition. The author argues for a more performative theory of class, a theory that would, she explains, recognize that academic discourse creates social class distinctions through processes that can be critiqued and reshaped.
Chronotopes: Forms of Time in Rhetorical Argument
Authors: Jack Jordynn
Published: March 2024

The author examines how chronotopes—a term M. M. Bakhtin used to describe space-time relationships in literature—also characterize rhetorical arguments. She uses a case study of a series of debates about genetically modified foods (GMFs) in Canada to illustrate how chronotopes shape arguments along ideological lines. In particular, she suggests that dominant chronotopes, such as space-time compression or substantial equivalence, are linked with powerful ideologies, such as neoliberal capitalism or scientific positivism, in ways that limit alternative arguments based on sustainability or green politics.
Why College English?
Authors: Wilson Logan Shirley
Published: March 2024

The undergraduate English curriculum should move well beyond study of the traditional Eurocentric literary canon. It should help students participate in society by teaching them how to communicate across various languages, discourses, and media.

Published: March 2024

The author identifies limitations in various approaches that Westerners have taken to non-Western rhetorical traditions.

Crash Course: Race, Class, and Context
Authors: Farris Christine
Published: March 2024

“Crash”’s most disturbing lesson seems to be that everybody—even a mean, sadistic cop—has a good side and reasons for his or her racist acts, for which they can be forgiven. This emphasis is a failure to analyze the heterogeneity of experiences among members of various races and ethnicities. Nevertheless, the film is worth teaching, especially if a class compares it with a film such as Spike Lee’s When the Levees Broke. Lee’s documentary on Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans is a model for reconstructing with students a history and system of beliefs and practices, so that they deepen their analysis of any cultural phenomenon, artifact, or event.

Keeping Curious Company: Wayne C. Booth’s Friendship Model of Criticism and the Work of Hunter S. Thompson
Authors: Stiles Stephanie , Harris Randy
Published: March 2024

Wayne Booth’s model of reader response as “friendship” would seem to be severely tested by the writings of Hunter Thompson, because this author often portrayed himself as someone who was anything but ingratiating. Yet we can indeed apply Booth’s theory to Thompson’s texts, especially if we distinguish their protagonist from what Booth referred to as “the implied author.”
Reconsiderations: Anonymity and Violence: Jane Tompkins’s “Fighting Words” Twenty Years Later
Authors: Weissman Gary
Published: March 2024

In her influential 1988 essay, “Fighting Words,” Jane Tompkins argued that the arguments typically made by literary critics are characterized by an aggressive competitiveness that amounts to violence. But, as Tompkins’s own rhetorical strategies demonstrate, at least as deplorable are the practices whereby critics render certain people anonymous.

Aesthetic Flow Exerience in the Teaching of Preservice Language Arts Teachers
Authors: Augustine Sharon Murphy , Zoss Michelle
Published: March 2024

This interview study with 19 preservice teachers who were enrolled in a teacher apprenticeship program at a major southeastern U.S. university uses Dewey’s (1938/1988) concept of an experience and Csikszentmihalyi’s (1990) concept of flow to investigate how participants identify and describe aesthetic flow experiences both inside and outside school settings. The researchers, two instructors of English education, suggest that recognizing aesthetic flow experience in the classroom sets the stage for pre-service teachers to have enriched notions of what counts as learning and knowledge. Further, we posit that these enriched notions of knowledge and learning will point to ways of appreciating the diverse settings, activities, and experiences that secondary students bring with them to school.
The Editorial We: Discussing Our Political and Teaching Livesx
Authors: Moore Michael T.
Published: March 2024

As the director of a brand new National Writing Project site, I was apprehensive about what I could expect from myself, the teachers, the co-directors, and from the work we would do together over an intensive five-week writing institute. It was a new venture for us all.While my purpose here is not to chronicle the evolution of our group over the five weeks we were together, I do want to discuss one particular outcome of the Summer Institute because I believe it has implications for all of us who work with teachers. I have come to think of this as the evolution of the politics of voice in the lives of teachers. Through ongoing and sustained collaborative writing, research, and discussion, the fifteen teachers of the Summer Institute called upon funds of knowledge, reclaimed the voices of their teaching lives, and disclaimed the common public sentiment which discredits the role of these very voices in developing an agenda for reforming education.
