Healing with Horses: Outcomes of an Equine-Facilitated Cancer Program and Directions for OT Practice
Authors: Murphy Lynne , Goehmann Brittany , Panczykowski Heather 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
This study explored a 10-week, equine-facilitated program for cancer survivors living in the community. Unmounted horsemanship activities were followed by guided processing of emotions within a support group. Overall quality of life increased; however quantitative analysis was limited by small sample. Qualitative analysis revealed five themes of human-equine journey, human bond through shared experience, reclaiming positive emotions, nurturing resilience, and evolution of a new identity.

The Validity of the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA) for People With Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS)
Authors: Allid Diane Rose , Orenstein Melissa , Goverover Yael 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
People with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) often experience executive function (EF) deficits affecting daily living. The Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA) is a recently developed tool requiring management of a cognitively challenging functional task. This study sought to validate the WCPA as an assessment of functional cognition for PwMS. We established the WCPA’s discriminant, concurrent, and construct validity. Overall, it can be a useful tool to assess EF function difficulties among PwMS.

Home for Life Design (HFLD) Home Assessment Psychometric Study: Inter-Rater Reliability of a Home-Safety Assessment Tool
Authors: Lindstrom Debra , Sithong Carolyn , Sullivan Katherine 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
The focus of the Home for Life Design (HFLD) app-based home assessment is to determine a person’s ability to safely complete an occupation in context, and if and how the environment limits safety. An inter-rater reliability study with OT students (n=32) used online training v.5; ICC between individual raters and the author was high (.92; 95% CI). These findings contribute to the evidence that the HFLD home assessment is a reliable tool for OTs making home-safety recommendations.

Testing Visual Motor Integration (VMI): A Closer Look
Authors: Cote Carol , Reinson Carol 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
This study analyzed the VMI tasks according to theories of neuropsychology, from which we created a new scoring system. The models of cognitive development together with psychological constructs of figurative (direct perception) and operative (analysis and action) schemes provided the format for evaluating a child’s productions. VMI records of 39 children were scored using the new detailed system. Regression analysis found that the new scoring, and not the VMI, significantly predicted age.

Early Identification in Autism: Subtypes Based on Child, Family, and Community Characteristics
Authors: Wallisch Anna , Little Lauren , Dean Evan , Dunn Winnie 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/04/19
Disparities exist in the early identification of underserved children with ASD. Our study used a large university sample to examine subtypes of children with an eventual ASD diagnosis based on parent concerns and sociodemographics. Results suggest that children with speech parent concerns are most likely identified earlier, regardless of race, ethnicity, or SES. However, our findings point to the difficulty in identifying girls with ASD and children with social and behavior parent concerns.

The Toileting Habit Profile Questionnaire Revised (THPQ-R): Examining Discriminative and Concurrent Validity
Authors: Beaudry-Bellefeuille Isabelle , Lane Shelly , Chiu Simon , Lane Alison , Ramos-Polo Eduardo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
Reports indicate that sensory issues may be related to atypical defecation habits in some children. Practice in this area is limited by the lack of validated measures. The THPQ-R appears to capture defecation behaviors related to sensory over-reactivity. While preliminary studies regarding the THPQ-R are promising, further examination of its validity is warranted. In this study, we examined discriminative and concurrent validity.

The Neonatal Eating Outcome (NEO) Assessment: A New Developmental Feeding Assessment for Preterm Infants in the NICU
Authors: Pineda Bobbi 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Date Presented 04/06/19
Preterm infants have a heightened risk of feeding problems. The NEO can be used to assess prefeeding or oral feeding capacity, and the scoring criteria are based on the infant’s current postmenstrual age. Previous work on the tool demonstrates that the NEO holds promise for being an important and psychometrically sound measurement of feeding for preterm infants in the NICU. In this talk, testing procedures and scoring of the NEO will be introduced.

Making Knowledge the Most Powerful Affect: Overcoming Affective Nihilism
Authors: Creasy Kaitlyn N. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
After briefly introducing the problem of affective nihilism in Nietzsche and detailing a variety of its forms, I identify and investigate potential Nietzschean strategies for jump-starting the agency of the affective nihilist and overcoming affective nihilism. By attending to Nietzsche's own practices and recommendations, I locate strategies that might enable the affective nihilist to will and, eventually, to transform herself. The two strategies I investigate include (1) “living experimentally” by placing oneself in a variety of potentially stimulating climates and contexts and (2) undertaking particular practices of self-knowledge, especially the formation and reflection upon a personal narrative. Both of these strategies employ the production of affect in an individual to potentially energize one's will and stimulate one's drives.
Nietzsche and Shame
Authors: Van Fossen Joel A. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
On Nietzsche's view, shame regulates social relations in a fundamental way, but it may also have deleterious effects on one's conscience and sense of freedom. In this article, I present an interpretation of this view. I do this in four parts. First, I outline and expand upon a kind of shame in Nietzsche's thought that Brian Leiter calls “meta-affectual shame.” Second, I describe another kind of shame on Nietzsche's view that I call “protective shame.” I do this by comparing what Nietzsche can say about the origin of shame to a recent account of the origin of shame by David Velleman. Third, I show that “meta-affectual shame” is the kind he considers harmful or dangerous. Finally, I show how Nietzsche thinks “protective shame” can have a positive role insofar as “rigorous selfishness” (EH “Destiny” 7) is characteristic of those whom Nietzsche calls “profound spirits” (BGE 40).
Strangers to Ourselves: Self-Knowledge in Nietzsche's Genealogy
Authors: Hanauer Tom R. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Nietzsche famously claims that “we knowers […] remain of necessity strangers to ourselves” in the Genealogy's preface. But the meaning of Nietzsche's claim is not entirely clear; and it bears no obvious connection to the Genealogy's historical or evaluative projects. The aim of this article is to clarify Nietzsche's claim and to connect it with the rest of Nietzsche's projects in the Genealogy. With this goal in mind, I canvass three interpretations of Nietzsche's claim: (1) the naturalistic interpretation, (2) the transcendental interpretation, and (3) the normative interpretation. Ultimately, I argue, the naturalistic and transcendental interpretations are unsatisfactory; the normative interpretation comes closest to capturing the meaning of Nietzsche's claim. According to this interpretation, Nietzsche's claim that we're necessarily “strangers to ourselves” shouldn't be understood descriptively, but rather normatively, that is, as suggesting that lacking a certain kind of self-knowledge is good for “we knowers.”
Three Modes of History in On the Genealogy of Morality
Authors: Laforce Daisy 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality (GM) is now a recognized masterpiece, but there are widely varying views about its historical aims and methods. One point of agreement among scholars is that it serves a critical function, as Nietzsche himself declares that we need a critique of moral values and a knowledge of the conditions and circumstances out of which they grew, under which they evolved and changed. It is taken to be strikingly successful in this respect. Yet a genealogy must serve not only to critique but also to transform social phenomena—otherwise, it is a destructive and potentially nihilistic tool. I argue GM is also a constructive project by showing that its historical approach is best understood as developed from Nietzsche's earlier theory of history. “The Utility and Liability of History for Life” contains a theory of historical interpretation that elucidates GM.
A Special Issue Dedicated to Geometallurgy: Preface
Authors: Hunt Julie , Berry Ron , Becker Megan , Baumgartner Regina 
Published: November 2019

AbstractGeometallurgy is an interdisciplinary field aimed at describing potential ore deposits in terms that mine planners and economists can use to design and run profitable mining operations. The major geologic contribution to the field is defining the spatial variability of potential and active mining resources so that planning and scheduling can accurately predict the economic performance and environmental impact of mining in time to respond efficiently to variations in ore type. This information is needed at the feasibility stage and throughout the mine life. We review the available literature on how geologists have contributed to these predictions in the past. There have been substantial advances in predicting comminution behavior. Prediction of recovery and environmental impacts are less advanced. This introductory paper provides a brief review of geometallurgy and a synopsis of the papers in the Special Issue, along with suggestions on future directions.
