Published: December 2018

In this work we have studied the electro-optical effect of two types of ferronematic nanoparticles. The first sample doped with magnetic material Fe3O4 and the second sample doped with a ferroelectric material SbSI. The difference in the two types of material that has been vaccinated led to different values of electro-optic properties because of the different susceptibility of materials. We have noticed that the material SbSI was more responsive to the applied electric field due to the nature of the constituent material (electric material) than the Fe3O4 ferromagnetic. The response time for the material SbSI is less than the response time of the ferromagnetic Fe3O4, that led to make the material SbSI best in the optical switch applications.

Published: December 2018

Hybrid metal matrix composites are being widely investigated for use in light weight, high strength applications. In the present study, Aluminium alloy Al7075 was reinforced with B4C and TiO2at 4% and 2% weight fractions respectively. The powders of the reinforcements were ball milled for uniform distribution in the Al matrix, and later fabricated by stir casting technique primarily due to simplicity and economy of the method. The specimen were prepared as per ASTM standards and later subjected to hardness, double shear, wear and impact tests and the results were compared with that of pure aluminium specimen fabricated by the same method. The hardness, shear strength, impact strength of the composite were found to be higher than pure aluminium by 4.97%, 32.28% ands 6.41% respectively.

Today we are facing a great problem due to the synthetic compounds, as most of them are not environmentally friendly. Natural fibers are the fibers which are obtained from the nature and these fibers are environment friendly. So the use of natural fiber is increasing day by day in different sectors. But natural fiber has some limitations for widely use, one of them is the hydrophilic nature. So it cannot be widely used. That is why we need to incorporate them with low mechanical property synthetic compounds, widely known as composite materials. When we are using natural fiber with polymeric materials by forming composites, the fiber properties greatly influence the strength or mechanical properties. So researchers are trying to reduce this weakness of the natural fiber reinforced composite materials. One of the widely used methods for the improvement of tensile properties is the application of radiation (gamma and UV). The control use of gamma and UV-radiation increases the tensile properties in some extent for the use of materials in practical applications. The reason of this increment in tensile properties is the high energy radiation making crosslink among the molecules. In all the respect of fiber reinforced composite highest tensile properties are observed at a certain dose of gamma and UV-radiation.
Top 10 video game cases (US): how video game litigation in the US has evolved since the advent of Pong
Authors: Dannenberg Ross , Davenport Josh
Published: December 2018

Video game litigation in the United States is neither new nor infrequent, and video game developers can learn valuable lessons from cases won, and lost, by others before them. This article examines the evolution of United States intellectual property law from historically narrow roots to classifying video games as an art form deserving broad free speech protection. This article examines seminal cases in a variety of IP areas, including not only copyrights, but also reverse engineering, derivative works, patents, trademarks, rights of publicity, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, contracts, and freedom of speech. These cases explore the factual and legal limits of American jurisprudence in video game law, including how one's own expression can be limited by the rights of others, permissible and fair use and of others' IP, and the impact these cases have had in the industry. As video games have leveled up into a multi-billion dollar industry, the law has leveled up, too, and this article is the primer you need to level up with it.

Authors: Tineo Carrión Lydia
Published: December 2018

La comunicación ha ocupado tradicionalmente un lugar secundario en las líneas de actuación de la gestión cultural. Hoy, la evolución tecnológica y social hacia la web 2.0 y las herramientas que derivan de ella reinventan los canales de difusión y posibilitan un diálogo efectivo entre las organizaciones y su público. Cuando numerosos estudios abordan ya este aspecto, referido a ámbitos como los museos y el patrimonio, este trabajo suma interés por nuevos espacios: los teatros españoles, iniciando el diagnóstico de su presencia digital y el enfoque social que manifiestan. El análisis pionero del comportamiento on-line de una amplia muestra representativa permite conclusiones que invitan a la reflexión teórica y profesional sobre el uso real de las TIC en los entornos culturales, facilitando la comprensión de este proceso al revelar algunas de sus debilidades actuales y señalando direcciones de gran utilidad para las instituciones del sector.
Exploring Purpose as a Resource for Promoting Youth Program Engagement
Authors: Burrow Anthony L. , Agans Jennifer P. , Rainone Nicolette
Published: December 2018

Recent evidence that reflecting on one’s purpose in life increases engagement with academic tasks inspires questions about whether purpose interventions might enhance learning engagement more broadly. This potential may be particularly fruitful for programs serving youth from a wide range of ages wherein sustaining engagement may be challenging. Here, we explored whether a brief purpose writing intervention would increase adolescents’ engagement in 4-H programs. Participants (N = 130) were randomly assigned to write about either their sense of purpose or a control topic prior to the first day of a program, and they reported their level of program engagement at the end of that day. Regression analysis showed participant age was negatively associated with program engagement. However, writing about purpose halted this age-related decline in engagement. These preliminary findings situate purpose as a resource that can be leveraged to sustain older youths’ interest and engagement in youth programming.
Contribuições da técnica de "associação livre de palavras" para a compreensão da sexualidade na adolescência

Published: December 2018

Este artigo discute partes de resultados de uma pesquisa maior, Sexualidade na adolescência: contribuições da teoria das representações sociais para a Educação Básica, com o apoio da FAPEMIG/Edital 13/2012 – Pesquisa em Educação Básica. Discute, especificamente as contribuições da “Técnica de Associação Livre de Palavras” (TALP), processadas no software EVOC, para a compreensão da sexualidade na adolescência. Parte do princípio de que um dos aspectos da vida do adolescente que frequentemente tem sido apontado como motivo de preocupação, tanto da família como da escola, tem sido o desenvolvimento da sexualidade. Propõe identificar o núcleo central e periférico das representações sociais construídas por 139 alunos do 7º, 8º e 9º ano, do ensino fundamental, de uma escola municipal de Uberaba, sobre a sexualidade na adolescência. Toma como referencial teórico-metodológico a Teoria das Representações Sociais de Moscovici (2003) e a subteoria do Núcleo Central de Abric (2000). As análises realizadas a partir dos resultados da “TALP” e do EVOC apontam que esses alunos estão construindo representações sociais ancoradas em elementos que demonstram uma compreensão limitada da sexualidade na adolescência. Em razão disso, o estudo mostra a necessidade de um trabalho de orientação sexual nessa escola.
Os desafios da avaliação em contexto de expansão e inclusão
Authors: Ristoff Dilvo
Published: December 2018

O texto discute algumas das promessas derivadas das diretivas de expansão e inclusão professadas pela Conferência Mundial de Educação Superior (CMES 2009) da UNESCO e pelos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS 2015) da Organização das Nações Unidas, pelo Plano Nacional de Educação de 2001 e pelo Plano Nacional de Educação de 2014. As promessas para um ensino superior inclusivo e de qualidade são muitas e ambiciosas, entre elas o acesso a educação de qualidade para todos. Estas promessas geralmente têm sido confrontadas por múltiplos equívocos e temores, entre os quais as noções de que (a) “ a expansão reduzirá a qualidade da educação!” (b) “a inclusão forçará a redução dos padrões de qualidade!” e (c) “a expansão com inclusão e qualidade no ensino superior é insustentável!”. O texto discute estas promessas e estes temores a partir da análise do impacto de cinco dos principais programas brasileiros de democratização do ensino superior (PROUNI, REUNI, FIES, SISU, IFs) e dos desafios que impõem ao Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior (SINAES). Entre as conclusões está a constatação de que, embora em contextos muito específicos, alguns desses temores possam ser justificáveis, eles geralmente não encontram sustentação nos dados existentes e podem ser classificados como mitos. Meu último argumento é que, nos últimos doze anos, as preocupações com inclusão e avaliação, no Brasil, nos países do Mercosul e em outros países da América Latina, passaram do tabu ao totem, ou seja, de temas marginais ou proibidos (que não podiam ser discutidos, por supostamente comprometerem a qualidade) a temas que se tornaram centrais, coletivos, respeitados, reverenciados e quase sagrados, no âmbito das políticas públicas educacionais.

Authors: Kosztyła-Hojna Bożena , Łobaczuk-Sitnik Anna , Biszewska Jolanta , Moskal-Jasińska Diana
Published: December 2018

During pregnancy, voice quality disorders may occur in form of: edema, dryness, nervousness.
The aim of the study is subjective and objective evaluation of voice quality in pregnant women.
The study included 20 women in the third trimester of pregnancy, age of 20-31 diagnosed at the Department of Clinical Phonoaudiology and Logopedics, Medical University of Bialystok.
Subjective assessment has been based on the GRBAS scale. Objective assessment of the vocal organ used the HSDI technique (High Speed Digital Imaging). In the laryngeal visualization, high-speed camera (HS) using rigid endoscope with 90 ° optics has been used. Vibration of vocal folds has been recorded during phonation of vowel "e" at 4000 frames / sec. The glottal closure (GTs), symmetry, regularity and synchronization of vocal folds vibration have been assessed. In estimating the degree of glottal insufficiency, kymography of the larynx has been performed by analyzing the value of Open Quotient (OQ). Objective acoustic evaluation of voice has been also conducted using DiagnoScope Specjalista Program.
Hoarseness has been observed in 15 pregnant women, whereas voice fatigability in 20 patients. Using HSDI, the edema of vocal folds in part of the group has been observed. Decreased MPT has been found in all examined women in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Hoarseness and fatigability of voice are the most frequent subjective symptoms of voice organ in the third trimester of pregnancy. Decreased MPT is recorded objectively, as well as edema and insufficiency of vocal folds using HSDI technique.
Mating behaviour of Simulium erythrocephalum (De Geer, 1776) (Diptera: Simuliidae) in Zaragoza (Spain)

Published: December 2018

Simulium erythrocephalum (De Geer, 1776) es una especie altamente antropofílica responsable de brotes de mosca negra en España. Así, se realizaron observaciones sobre el comportamiento de apareamiento de S. erythrocephalum en condiciones naturales en España, incluyendo la formación de enjambres, el reconocimiento, abordaje y la finalización de la cópula y el comportamiento post cópula. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron que la actividad de cópula tiene lugar durante la tarde. Observamos como el ser humano representa un marcador de orientación atractivo para los enjambres de machos, cuya formación está relacionada con el período de actividad de búsqueda de hospedador por parte de las hembras. Este estudio representa el primer estudio sobre el comportamiento de cópula de simúlidos en España, ampliando el conocimiento general sobre este comportamiento en las moscas negras.

Simulium erythrocephalum (De Geer, 1776) is a highly anthropophilic species that is responsible for blackfly outbreaks in Spain. Thus, field observations of the mating behaviour, including swarm formation, recognition and chasing, copulation, termination of copulation and post-copulation behaviour of S. erythrocephalum were conducted in a natural habitat in Spain. The obtained results demonstrated that mating activity occurs during the evening hours. We observed the human host represents an attractive orientation marker of male swarms, whose formation is related to the host-seeking activity period of females. This study represents the first report about the mating behaviour of Simuliidae species in Spain, increasing the general knowledge about this behaviour of blackflies.
På tanken: Kultur som poetik
Authors: Frimann Søren , Jantzen Christian
Published: December 2018

I artiklen analyserer vi en eksemplarisk case for at belyse generelle forhold ved hverdagslige interaktioner. I vort tilfælde drejer det sig om de læringsmæssige effekter, som afvigelsen fra et opøvet interaktionsmønster skaber. Det forhold, at afvigelsen kan danne grundlag for nye måder at ’gøre’ interaktionen på – det er ’kultur’. Kultur er noget, der ’hænder’ på grund af faktiske interaktioner i konkrete situationer. Vi illustrerer dette kulturbegreb ved at analysere en kort interaktion, som udspandt sig på en tankstation nogle år tilbage. Vi vil prøve at vise, hvordan den ene deltagers (nemlig kundens) forventninger er rodfæstet i tidligere erfaringer, hvordan interaktionens forløb skuffede disse forventninger, hvorledes dette bevirkede, at situationen måtte omdefineres, hvorledes dette påvirkede deltagerens selvbillede og hvad det kan betyde for deltagerens fremtidige bidrag til lignende interaktioner i form af justerede erfaringer. I situationen skete der nærmest intet, men alligevel hændte der tilstrækkeligt til, at også denne interaktion – uventet og utilsigtet – førte til ’kulturarbejde’. Kultur er nemlig noget, ’der gøres’: dette ’noget’ er pragmatisk – og som sådan poetisk og performativt.
Resisting stigma, embracing solidarity: An ethnographic study of shopaholics anonymous
Authors: Demerling Rachel
Published: December 2018

In recent years, an increased interest in the phenomenon of compulsive buying, which is better known as “shopaholism”, has occurred. This behaviour has been conceptualized as being an uncontrollable urge to purchase things which is pleasurable for an individual or relieves their distress and which results in negative consequences for that individual. This article examines the experiences of individuals within a Shopaholics Anonymous group to understand why individuals decide to join a support group and explore the dynamics of interaction among participants and how that shapes the outcome of their addiction.
Narrative journalism as complementary inquiry
Authors: Jeppesen Jørgen , Hansen Helle Ploug
Published: December 2018

Narrative journalism is a method to craft stories worth reading about real people. In this article, we explore the ability of that communicative power to produce insights complementary to those obtainable through traditional qualitative and quantitative research methods. With examples from a study of journalistic narrative as patient involvement in professional rehabilitation, interview data transcribed as stories are analyzed for qualities of heterogeneity, sensibility, transparency, and reflexivity. Building on sociological theories of thinking with stories, writing as inquiry, and public journalism as ethnography, we suggest that narrative journalism as a common practice might unfold dimensions of subjective otherness of the self. Aspiring to unite writing in both transparently confrontational and empathetically dialogic ways, the narrative journalistic method holds a potential to expose dynamics of power within the interview.
The Disavowal of Difference: Accessing Class and Symbolic Boundary-Drawing in Interviews
Authors: Faber Stine Thidemann
Published: December 2018

In this article I recount and reflect on methodological issues raised in my research about class representations and symbolic boundary drawing. The article discusses different aspects of accessing class by way of interviews (thereby privileging ‘talk’ as a source of data), the dilemmas involved in conducting the interviews (including the need for paying attention to classed power inherent in the research setting), and the challenges and associated problems of representing the experience of others, especially when researching across difference.
Artesanía de vida: Comunicación intersubjetiva que fomenta la interculturalidad en la educación artística comunitaria
Authors: Sahagún Veronica
Published: December 2018

Un proyecto de arte textil centrado en la relación entre la identidad cultural y el textil tradicional mexicano da lugar al diseño teórico la estrategia pedagógica de artesanía de vida. Primero se presentan la teoría y el proceso creativo del que informan a la obra textil. Después, se describe a profundidad el marco conceptual que caracteriza a la mencionada estrategia pedagógica. Concebida para la educación artística comunitaria mexicana, y con fundamento en el concepto de intersubjetividad, la artesanía de vida busca propiciar experiencias educativas que fomenten la interculturalidad. Este objetivo se cumplirá a través del análisis individual por parte de cada integrante de la comunidad en relación a las narrativas personales, culturales y sociales desprendidas de los objetos culturales que forman parte de su vida cotidiana. La práctica de la artesanía de vida, además consistirá en la creación de obras autobiográficas que combinen manualidades o prácticas artesanales con medios artísticos contemporáneos, para luego compartirlas al grupo de aprendizaje. A través de esta dinámica se fomentarán las conexiones empáticas y actitudes de respeto hacia las diferencias culturales existentes entre los y las integrantes de la comunidad.
La gamificación como recurso didáctico en la enseñanza del diseño
Authors: Parra Ester , Torres Mariano
Published: December 2018

Este artículo propone una aproximación al papel del juego en la enseñanza del diseño y su valoración como recurso didáctico. Así pues, se describe la experiencia desarrollada en las Escuelas Superiores de Arte y Diseño de Orihuela y Alicante de utilizar la gamificación como instrumento pedagógico para formar diseñadores gráficos. El término gamificación se confunde en muchas ocasiones con el uso de videojuegos, por ello se describe este concepto de forma pormenorizada y se detalla el planteamiento llevado a cabo para su implantación en la asignatura Teoría de la publicidad y el marketing que se imparte en el ciclo de Gráfica Publicitaria, y en las asignaturas proyectuales que tratan aspectos de publicidad y marca de los Estudios Superiores de Diseño Gráfico. De este modo, se presentan los aspectos metodológicos de la gamificación aplicada a la educación, y se propone una serie de juegos creados expresamente para los estudiantes de Diseño Gráfico. Asimismo, se enumeran los puntos fuertes del uso de la gamificación en el aula, tanto desde el punto de vista del profesorado, como del alumnado. Por último, se hace hincapié en el uso de la gamificación como recurso didáctico que promueve la motivación del alumno a través de la creatividad, la espontaneidad, la diversión y la involucración, no solo en estas materias, sino como recurso pedagógico aplicable a cualquier materia y nivel educativo.

“El malo de la película” Estudio de las principales figuras malvadas en la colección cinematográfica clásicos Disney
Authors: Monleón Vicente
Published: December 2018

La Cultura Visual es un potente elemento transmisor de ideas, valores y prejuicios que van ahondando en las personas, en muchas ocasiones de manera inconsciente. Un ejemplo de ello son los filmes que la población infantil consume y que son un componente definitorio de la construcción de su identidad y personalidad, sobre todo en el tramo de la Educación Infantil, 3-5 años. Por ello, en este estudio mediante una metodología mixta de investigación se propone analizar las principales figuras malvadas de la colección de películas clásicos Disney (1937-2016). Esta colección tiene un alcance masivo a nivel mundial, pero sobre todo en los países occidentales de América del Norte y Europa. Los resultados establecen cuáles son los rasgos que recrea esta productora a través de sus dibujos animados malévolos. Seleccionando a este grupo como objeto de análisis por la carencia de investigación al respecto. En la discusión, se revisa la construcción de roles y se analizan críticamente las intenciones ocultas tras los mismos para contribuir a una educación más consciente de los estereotipos que influyen en el alumnado.

The Art of “Including Art” in Animation: DreamWorks’ Intertextual Games for All
Authors: González Rebeca Cristina López
Published: December 2018

Art forms become interrelated when intertextual phenomena occur. The choice of previous art forms to create humour may seem to be a playful game, but it is the result of many kinds of inserted messages. Fourteen animated feature films by DreamWorks have been analysed and classified in depth (by using Sebeok’s (1986) intertextual categories, which were also described by Hatim & Mason (1990)), in order to demonstrate how animation is an art that encompasses other artistic productions. Firstly, art and animation will be defined in order to, secondly, use the corpus to exemplify the intertextual connections from other art forms. Lastly, the final quantitative and qualitative results will substantiate the conclusion that these productions by DreamWorks are an example of artistic cinematographic intertextuality.
Key words: animation, intertextuality, art forms, Children’s Literature..

Resumen
Las formas artísticas se interrelacionan cuando se pone en práctica el fenómeno intertextual. El uso de formas artísticas previas para crear humor puede parecer un juego pero es el resultado de la inserción de varios tipos de mensajes en un texto/discurso. Se analizan y clasifican en profundidad catorce películas de animación creadas por DreamWorks (se emplea para ello las categorías intertextuales propuestas por Sebeok (1986) descritas, a su vez, por Hatim & Mason (1990)), con el propósito de demostrar cómo la animación es un arte que engloba a otras producciones artísticas. En primer lugar, se definen los conceptos de arte y animación para, acto seguido, mostrar mediante el corpus cuáles son las conexiones intertextuales que provienen de otras formas artísticas. Los resultados cuantitativos y cualitativos permiten concluir que las producciones animadas de DreamWorks son un ejemplo de intertextualidad cinematográfica artística.

L’ús de formes artístiques prèvies per crear humor pot semblar un joc però és el resultat de la inserció de diversos tipus de missatges en un text/discurs. S’analitzen i classifiquen en profunditat catorze pel·lícules d’animació creades per DreamWorks (s’hi empra per a això les categories intertextuals proposades per Sebeok (1986) descrites, d’altra banda, per Hatim & Mason (1990)), amb el propòsit de demostrar com l’animació és un art que engloba d’altres produccions artístiques. En primer lloc, es defineixen els conceptes d’art i animació per a, tot seguit, mostrar mitjançant el corpus quines són les connexions intertextuals que provenen d’altres formes artístiques. Els resultats quantitatius i qualitatius permeten concloure que les produccions animades de DreamWork són un exemple d’intertextualitat cinematogràfica artística.

Home office: direitos fundamentais, meio ambiente laboral e reforma trabalhista
Authors: Fincato Denise Pires , De Andrade Amanda Scotá
Published: December 2018

A manutenção de um meio ambiente laboral saudável torna-se tema complexo quando a prestação do serviço se dá no próprio domicílio do trabalhador. O home office, que é uma das diversas modalidades de teletrabalho, cresce devido, primeiramente, ao avanço da globalização e, segundo, da necessidade de flexibilização de normas relativas às contratações trabalhistas. A legislação brasileira atual, por mais precária que seja, é extremamente necessária e importante, principalmente no que diz respeito à saúde e segurança deste trabalhador que estará prestando suas atividades fora do ambiente laboral da empresa. Além disso, é possível e atual a discussão acerca do tema, por força da redação trazida pela Lei n. 13.467/2017 (Reforma Trabalhista), que prevê a inserção de um capítulo exclusivo para o teletrabalho e suas peculiaridades, dentre elas considerações acerca do ambiente laboral e a tentativa de redução dos riscos de acidente de trabalho e doença ocupacional. Considerando-se que o teletrabalho, em geral, é prestado no domicílio do empregado (salienta-se que não é regra), é natural a indagação acerca da inspeção, pelo empregador, do ambiente de trabalho (até mesmo como forma de reduzir ou eximir-se de eventual responsabilidade em caso de acidente ou doença do empregado). Conclui-se no sentido de que apesar de não prevista no novo texto legal, a fiscalização patronal do meio ambiente laboral segue sendo necessária à saúde do trabalhador e ao direito de prova do empregador. O presente estudo valeu-se do método de abordagem dedutivo, procedimentos históricos, comparativos e estruturalistas, com interpretação lógico-sistemática.

How a president who prided himself on his decisiveness vacillated between policy approaches in the Middle East.

Although George W. Bush memorably declared, “I'm the decider,” as president he was remarkably indecisive when it came to U.S. policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His administration's policymaking featured an ongoing clash between moderate realists and conservative hard-liners inspired by right-wing religious ideas and a vision of democracy as cure-all. Riven by these competing agendas, the Bush administration vacillated between recognizing the Palestinian right to self-determination and embracing Israeli leaders who often chose war over negotiations. Through the years, the administration erratically adopted and discarded successive approaches to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. The results of this irresolution included the stunning triumph of Hamas in the 2006 Palestinian elections, Israel's 2006 invasion of Lebanon, the 2008–2009 clash between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and, in the end, virtually no diplomatic progress toward lasting peace.

In Indecision Points, Daniel Zoughbie examines the major assumptions underpinning U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East during the Bush years. Was there one policy or two? Was the Bush administration truly serious about peace? In a compelling account, Zoughbie offers original insights into these and other important questions. Drawing on the auhtor's own interviews with forty-five global leaders, including Condoleezza Rice, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, Kofi Annan, Colin Powell, Tom DeLay, Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, Leon Panetta, Chuck Hagel, Shlomo Ben Ami, and Salam Fayyad, Indecision Points provides the first comprehensive history of the Bush administration's attempt to reshape political order in a “New Middle East.”

Introducing students to the world of wearable technology.

Soft Circuits introduces students to the world of wearable technology. Using Modkit, an accessible DIY electronics toolkit, students learn to create e-textile cuffs, “electrici-tee” shirts, and solar-powered backpacks. Students also learn the importance of one component to the whole—how, for example, changing the structure of LED connections immediately affects the number of LEDs that light up.
The Myth of the Moral Brain
Authors: Wiseman Harris
Published: December 2018

An argument that moral functioning is immeasurably complex, mediated by biology but not determined by it.

Throughout history, humanity has been seen as being in need of improvement, most pressingly in need of moral improvement. Today, in what has been called the beginnings of “the golden age of neuroscience,” laboratory findings claim to offer insights into how the brain “does” morality, even suggesting that it is possible to make people more moral by manipulating their biology. Can “moral bioenhancement”—using technological or pharmaceutical means to boost the morally desirable and remove the morally problematic—bring about a morally improved humanity? In The Myth of the Moral Brain, Harris Wiseman argues that moral functioning is immeasurably complex, mediated by biology but not determined by it. Morality cannot be engineered; there is no such thing as a “moral brain.”

Wiseman takes a distinctively interdisciplinary approach, drawing on insights from philosophy, biology, theology, and clinical psychology. He considers philosophical rationales for moral enhancement, and the practical realities they come up against; recent empirical work, including studies of the cognitive and behavioral effects of oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine; and traditional moral education, in particular the influence of religious thought, belief, and practice. Arguing that morality involves many interacting elements, Wiseman proposes an integrated bio-psycho-social approach to the consideration of moral enhancement. Such an approach would show that, by virtue of their sheer numbers, social and environmental factors are more important in shaping moral functioning than the neurobiological factors with which they are interwoven.
Understanding Ignorance
Authors: DeNicola Daniel R.
Published: December 2018

An exploration of what we can know about what we don't know: why ignorance is more than simply a lack of knowledge.

Ignorance is trending. Politicians boast, “I'm not a scientist.” Angry citizens object to a proposed state motto because it is in Latin, and “This is America, not Mexico or Latin America.” Lack of experience, not expertise, becomes a credential. Fake news and repeated falsehoods are accepted and shape firm belief. Ignorance about American government and history is so alarming that the ideal of an informed citizenry now seems quaint. Conspiracy theories and false knowledge thrive. This may be the Information Age, but we do not seem to be well informed. In this book, philosopher Daniel DeNicola explores ignorance—its abundance, its endurance, and its consequences.

DeNicola aims to understand ignorance, which seems at first paradoxical. How can the unknown become known—and still be unknown? But he argues that ignorance is more than a lack or a void, and that it has dynamic and complex interactions with knowledge. Taking a broadly philosophical approach, DeNicola examines many forms of ignorance, using the metaphors of ignorance as place, boundary, limit, and horizon. He treats willful ignorance and describes the culture in which ignorance becomes an ideological stance. He discusses the ethics of ignorance, including the right not to know, considers the supposed virtues of ignorance, and concludes that there are situations in which ignorance is morally good.

Ignorance is neither pure nor simple. It is both an accusation and a defense (“You are ignorant!” “Yes, but I didn't know!”). Its practical effects range from the inconsequential to the momentous. It is a scourge, but, DeNicola argues daringly, it may also be a refuge, a value, even an accompaniment to virtue.
Incontinence of the Void
Authors: Žižek Slavoj
Published: December 2018

The “formidably brilliant” Žižek considers sexuality, ontology, subjectivity, and Marxian critiques of political economy by way of Lacanian psychoanalysis.

If the most interesting theoretical interventions emerge today from the interspaces between fields, then the foremost interspaceman is Slavoj Žižek. In Incontinence of the Void (the title is inspired by a sentence in Samuel Beckett's late masterpiece Ill Seen Ill Said), Žižek explores the empty spaces between philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the critique of political economy. He proceeds from the universal dimension of philosophy to the particular dimension of sexuality to the singular dimension of the critique of political economy. The passage from one dimension to another is immanent: the ontological void is accessible only through the impasses of sexuation and the ongoing prospect of the abolition of sexuality, which is itself opened up by the technoscientific progress of global capitalism, in turn leading to the critique of political economy.

Responding to his colleague and fellow Short Circuits author Alenka Zupančič's What Is Sex?, Žižek examines the notion of an excessive element in ontology that gives body to radical negativity, which becomes the antagonism of sexual difference. From the economico-philosophical perspective, Žižek extrapolates from ontological excess to Marxian surplus value to Lacan's surplus enjoyment. In true Žižekian fashion, Incontinence of the Void focuses on eternal topics while detouring freely into contemporary issuesfrom the Internet of Things to Danish TV series.
Asymmetry in Morphology
Authors: Di Sciullo Anna Maria
Published: December 2018

In this groundbreaking monograph, Anna Maria Di Sciullo proposes that asymmetry—the irreversibility of a pair of elements in an ordered set—is a hard-wired property of morphological relations. Her argument that asymmetry is central in derivational morphology, would, if true, make morphological objects regular objects of grammar just as syntactic and phonological objects are. This contrasts with the traditional assumption that morphology is irregular and thus not subject to the basic hard-wired regularities of form and interpretation.

Di Sciullo argues that the asymmetric property of morphological relations is part of the language faculty. She proposes a theory of grammar, Asymmetry Theory, according to which generic operations have specific instantiations in parallel derivations of the computational space. She posits that morphological and syntactic relations share a property, asymmetry, but diverge with respect to other properties of their primitives, operations, and interface representations. Di Sciullo offers empirical support for her theory with examples from a variety of languages, including English, Modern Greek, African, Romance, Turkish, and Slavic.
Darwinian Dominion
Authors: Petrinovich Lewis
Published: December 2018

The controversial subject of this book is the permissible use of animals by humans. Lewis Petrinovich argues that humans have a set of cognitive abilities, developing from a suite of emotional attachments, that make them unique among species. Although other animals can think, suffer, and have needs, the interests of members of the human species should triumph over comparable interests of members of other species.

This book is the third in a trilogy concerned with the morality of various actions that affect the birth, life, and death of organisms. Using principles of moral philosophy, biology, evolutionary theory, neurophysiology, medicine, and cognitive science, Petrinovich discusses such topics as fetal and prenatal development, development of the mind and brain, animal liberation, morality and animal research, the eating of animals, keeping animals in zoos and as pets, and the importance of biodiversity. In the epilogue, he summarizes the main issues and discusses the moral principles governing their resolution.

The Definition of Standard ML
Authors: Milner Robin , Harper Robert , MacQueen David , Tofte Mads
Published: December 2018

Standard ML is a general-purpose programming language designed for large projects. This book provides a formal definition of Standard ML for the benefit of all concerned with the language, including users and implementers. Because computer programs are increasingly required to withstand rigorous analysis, it is all the more important that the language in which they are written be defined with full rigor. One purpose of a language definition is to establish a theory of meanings upon which the understanding of particular programs may rest. To properly define a programming language, it is necessary to use some form of notation other than a programming language. Given a concern for rigor, mathematical notation is an obvious choice. The authors have defined their semantic objects in mathematical notation that is completely independent of Standard ML. In defining a language one must also define the rules of evaluation precisely—that is, define what meaning results from evaluating any phrase of the language. The definition thus constitutes a formal specification for an implementation. The authors have developed enough of their theory to give sense to their rules of evaluation. The Definition of Standard ML is the essential point of reference for Standard ML. Since its publication in 1990, the implementation technology of the language has advanced enormously and the number of users has grown. The revised edition includes a number of new features, omits little-used features, and corrects mistakes of definition.
Digitizing the News
Authors: Boczkowski Pablo J.
Published: December 2018

In this study of how daily newspapers in America have developed electronic publishing ventures, Pablo Boczkowski shows that new media emerge not just in a burst of revolutionary technological change but by merging the structures and practices of existing media with newly available technical capabilities. His multi-disciplinary perspectives of science and technology, communication, and organization studies allow him to address the connections between technical, editorial, and work facets of new media. This approach yields analytical insights into the material culture of online newsrooms, the production processes of new media products, and the relationships between offline and online dynamics.

Boczkowski traces daily newspapers' early consumer-oriented non-print publishing initiatives, from the now-forgotten videotex efforts of the 1980s to the rise of the World Wide Web in the mid- 1990s. He then examines the formative years of news on the Web during the second half of the 1990s, when the content of online newspapers varied from simple reproduction of the print edition to new material with interactive and multimedia features. With this picture of the recent history of non-print publishing as background, Boczkowski provides ethnographic, fly-on-the-wall accounts of three innovations in content creation: the Technology section of the New York Times on the Web, which was initially intended as the newspaper's space for experimentation with online news; the Virtual Voyager project of the HoustonChronicle.com, in which reporters pushed the envelope of multimedia journalism; and the Community Connection initiative of New Jersey Online, in which users became content producers. His analyses of these ventures reveal how innovation in online newspapers became an ongoing process in which different combinations of initial conditions and local contingencies led publishers along divergent paths of content creation.
