Recognition and Exteriority: Towards a Recognition-Theoretic Account of Globalization
Authors: Purcell Sebastian 
Published: July 2011

This essay aims to extend Paul Ricœur’s account of recognition to address some of the concerns of globalization, especially those voiced by Enrique Dussel. The extension is accomplished in two parts. First, Dussel’s account of spatial existence as dwelling is reviewed as it is pertinent to the concerns of globalization. Next, it is demonstrated that each of the aspects of Ricœur’s account of recognition may be given a spatial re-articulation. The results thus establish an outline of how recognition theory might address some of the concerns of globalization. The essay concludes with several consequences for the modification of recognition politics as one finds it in the late work of Ricœur and in Axel Honneth’s ongoing inquiries.
Between Ideology and Utopia: Honneth and Ricoeur on Symbolic Violence, Marginalization and Recognition
Authors: Moyaert Marianne 
Published: July 2011

This article focuses on multiculturalism in the context of present-day societies and the need to incorporate minorities within a reframed social order. In his critical theory, Axel Honneth rightly draws attention to the idea of the moral grammar of struggles for recognition. Analyzing his theory in depth, the article shows that Honneth underestimates the violent power of ideological discourse in marginalizing and excluding society’s others, e.g. cultural minorities. It then puts forward an alternative approach based on Ricœur’s creative and original reflections on ideology and utopia. For the incorporation of cultural minorities to occur, the symbolic order of society needs to be critiqued, transformed and expanded. From this perspective, the author highlights the subversive and transformative strength of utopian counter-narratives. The latter form a vital resource for cultural minorities in their struggle for recognition.
Backward Recall and the Word Length Effect
Authors: Surprenant Aiméée M. , Brown Mark A. , Jalbert Annie , Neath Ian , Bireta Tamra J. , Tehan Gerald 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
The word length effect, the finding that words that have fewer syllables are recalled better than otherwise comparable words that have more syllables, is one of the benchmark effects that must be accounted for in any model of serial recall, and simulation models of immediate memory rely heavily on the finding. However, previous research has shown that the effect disappears when participants are asked to recall the items in strict backward order. The present 2 experiments replicate and extend that finding by manipulating the participant’s foreknowledge of recall direction (Experiment 1) and by giving the participant repeated practice with one direction by blocking recall direction (Experiment 2). In both experiments, a word length effect obtained with forward but not backward recall. The results are problematic for all models that currently have an a priori explanation for word length effects. The finding can be accounted for but is not predicted by Scale-Independent Memory, Perception, and Learning (SIMPLE), a model in which item and order information are differentially attended to in the 2 recall directions.
Are Verbal Transformations Sensitive to Age Differences and Stimulus Properties?
Authors: Pilotti Maura , Simcox Travis , Baldy John , Schauss Frances 
Published: July 2011

AbstractVerbal transformations are illusory changes that arise from listening to a spoken word repeated over and over for a prolonged period of time. Past research has yielded some evidence of age differences in participants’ reports of verbal transformations. The goal of the present study was to examine reports of illusory percepts in young and older adults to determine whether participant characteristics (i.e., age, cognitive integrity, hearing acuity, vocabulary knowledge, and mood) and differences in sensitivity to properties of the stimulus material could account for age-related declines in reports of illusory changes. We observed age-related declines in new forms (illusory percepts) but merely a trend in the same direction for transitions (changes from the veridical sensory experience to illusory percepts and reversals to either the veridical sensory experience or other percepts). There was no evidence that participant characteristics other than age accounted for reports of illusory changes. However, we found age differences in participants’ sensitivity to properties of the stimulus material: Young adults but not older adults were sensitive to the frequency of the veridical percepts. In contrast, both age groups were sensitive to the size of the neighborhood of similar-sounding words. These findings are discussed regarding the transmission deficit hypothesis (MacKay & Burke, 1990).
Choreomusical Conversations: Facing a Double Challenge
Authors: Jordan Stephanie 
Published: July 2011

Dance is virtually always music-and-dance, unavoidably interdisciplinary and ready for “marriage,” or so the familiar metaphor tells us (Du Manoir 1664/1985; Humphrey 1959, 164). Apart from a few notable exceptions from within modern dance—like the silent dances of the 1920s and 1930s or the flamboyant rejections of musical tyranny by Merce Cunningham and Yvonne Rainer from midcentury—the centrality of music within dance and the “musicality” of the dancer have long been considered unquestioned facts of life.Yet traditionally, there have been fundamental differences in practice and conceptual frameworks between these two art forms or (within the academy) “disciplines.” Music has a history of being thought “alone” and uncontaminated by matter outside itself. Often, it needs no other partner. Then, in dance, the performer is central—as Yeats famously wrote: “How can we know the dancer from the dance?”—while in music, the score object, written by a composer, has been central and the performer, until quite recendy, relatively marginalized.
On Due Recognition of Animals Used in Research
Authors: Marks Joel 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
The experimental laboratory can be a horror house for rats, monkeys, and other nonhuman animals. Yet their use in this setting is usually reported in a routine manner in publications that discuss the results. These contentions are illustrated with an analysis of the way animal evidence is presented in David J. Linden’s recent book, The Accidental Mind: How Brain Evolution Has Given Us Love, Memory, Dreams, and God. The article concludes with a call to science authors to acknowledge formally in their written work the ethical significance of such use of nonhuman animals.
Cognitive Relatives yet Moral Strangers?
Authors: Benz-Schwarzburg Judith , Knight Andrew 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
This article provides an empirically based, interdisciplinary approach to the following two questions: Do animals possess behavioral and cognitive characteristics such as culture, language, and a theory of mind? And if so, what are the implications, when long-standing criteria used to justify differences in moral consideration between humans and animals are no longer considered indisputable? One basic implication is that the psychological needs of captive animals should be adequately catered for. However, for species such as great apes and dolphins with whom we share major characteristics of personhood, welfare considerations alone may not suffice, and consideration of basic rights may be morally warranted—as for humans. Although characteristics supporting the status of personhood are present to differing degrees among the diverse array of animal species, this is a barrier to moral consideration only if anthropocentric, exclusive, and monolithic viewpoints about the necessary prerequisites for personhood are applied. We examine the flaws inherent within such positions and argue for inalienable species-appropriate rights.
On the Use of Animals in Emergent Embryonic Stem Cell Research for Spinal Cord Injuries
Authors: Fenton Andrew , Gilbert Frederic 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
In early 2009, President Obama overturned the ban on federal funding for research involving the derivation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC). The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also approved Geron’s first-in-human hESC trial for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. We anticipate an increase in both research in the United States to derive hESC and applications to the FDA for approval of clinical trials involving transplantation of hESCs. An increase of such clinical trials will require a concomitant increase in the number of preceding preclinical assays. We examine important issues concerning the use of animals in SCI stem cell research that require a reevaluation of the moral permissibility of studies such as Geron’s.
Animal Ethics Based on Friendship
Authors: Frööding Barbro , Peterson Martin 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
This article discusses some aspects of animal ethics from an Aristotelian virtue ethics point of view. Because the notion of friendship (philia) is central to Aristotle’s ethical theory, the focus of the article is whether humans and animals can be friends. It is argued that new empirical findings in cognitive ethology indicate that animals actually do fulfill the Aristotelian condition for friendship based on mutual advantage. The practical ethical implications of these findings are discussed, and it is argued that eating meat from free-living animals is more morally acceptable than eating cattle because hunters (unlike farmers) do not befriend their prey.
Friendship and Animals: A Reply to Frööding and Peterson
Authors: Rowlands Mark 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
This article examines and critiques Frööding and Peterson’s account of friendship developed in their article “Animal Ethics Based on Friendship.” I argue that their central claim—that mutual benefit provides a suitable basis for friendship between human and nonhumans—is untenable, and I identify the general contours of a more satisfactory way of thinking about friendship between humans and nonhumans.
Should Whiteheadians Be Vegetarians? A Critical Analysis of the Thoughts of Whitehead, Birch, Cobb, and McDaniel
Authors: Deckers Jan 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
This article addresses the question whether Whiteheadians should be vegetarians in two ways. First, I question whether Whitehead should have been a vegetarian to be consistent, arguing that his omnivorous diet was inconsistent with his own philosophy. Second, I evaluate the works of three distinguished Whiteheadian philosophers on the ethics of vegetarianism. I argue that Charles Birch, John Cobb, and Jay McDaniel have prioritized animals justifiably over other organisms, yet that Birch and Cobb fail to do justice to the lives of other animals, and that the account provided by McDaniel fails to provide a convincing argument for minimal moral vegetarianism.
Comparison of Several Artistic Judgment Aptitude Dimensions Between Children in Chicago and Lisbon
Authors: Bezruczko Nikolaus , Fróis João Pedro 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
This research examines measurability, statistical interrelationships and association with test IQ, and cultural robustness of several artistic judgment dimensions. Symmetry, Simplicity, Uniformity, and Expressiveness dimensions had been previously validated in a comprehensive study of professional artists and studied in Chicago with children of diverse cultural background. The fifth dimension, the Visual Aesthetic Sensitivity Test (VAST), rests on much weaker validity foundations but was included in this research because of wide use among empirical arts researchers. Cross-cultural comparison of these dimensions has never been reported. The study sample is a culturally homogeneous group of native Lisbon schoolchildren (modal age = 10 years, N = 48). Results showed adequate psychometric reliability for all dimensions (&gt;.80) except VAST (.57). Means were statistically indistinguishable between Portuguese and American children on Simplicity and Uniformity, which support their aptitude foundations. Portuguese children showed significantly higher preference for asymmetry (Symmetry dimension), which indicates consistency with professional artists. However, Portuguese children showed much lower preference for Expressiveness than did Chicago children, which is the opposite direction of artistic expectations. With exception of VAST, these dimensions show considerable promise for cross-cultural and developmental research.
The History of Adult Education in Art in 1930s Delaware: An Examination of Participation and Accessibility
Authors: Scott Kathy Lynn 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
Adult education implemented within the public schools became widespread in the early 1900s in the United States and became available in Delaware in 1919, with 1% of the school budget set aside for this purpose. Although these programs began for purposes of the Americanization of immigrants, the focus shifted to leisure education in the 1930s. This new focus led to the offering of art and craft programs for adults. Although this marks the first time that art education was offered to adults by the public school system on a large scale, some groups of adults were more likely than others to have access to art programming. This paper explores not only the art opportunities available to adults in 1930s Delaware, but also the factors that either granted or limited access to their art education.
Lessons Learned From a Bundled Visual Arts Assessment
Authors: Brewer Thomas M. 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
The primary goal of this research was to develop and test a bundled multiple measures assessment consisting of a multiple-choice test, an art criticism writing item, a planning drawing (D-1), and final drawing (D-2), while employing contemporary art exemplars. Achievement differences between eighth graders in public and private schools and by gender were also examined. The analyses of data reported by two adjudication procedures showed all judges’ paired ratings on D-1 and D-2 and for the art criticism writing were significantly correlated and highly reliable estimates of student scores. No significant differences were found between private and public schools or by gender. Highly qualified, traditionally trained teachers may have served as an intervening influence. The multiple-choice test had a moderately positive correlation to the final drawing that produced a good and bad test: one that served as a positive learning tool and nearly met the moderate parameter for a classically reliable test. Therefore, it is with a considerable degree of confidence that art educators can use any combination of this bundled approach to art assessment.
The A+ Schools: A New Look at Curriculum Integration
Authors: Thomas Rollinda , Arnold Alice 
Published: July 2011

Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of the A+ Schools Program, which holds that integration of the arts strengthens learning and creates a positive instructional environment. Participating schools exposed their students to visual art, music, drama, and dance classes each week in addition to integration of the arts with academic subjects. Surveys examined art teachers’ views regarding support and funding, in addition to school administrators’ reports of school attendance. Quantitative data representing the North Carolina End-of-Grade Tests (EOGs) in reading comprehension and mathematics provided insight into the academic success of the A+ schools relative to other public schools across the state. The data analysis demonstrated no statistically significant difference in the academic performance of students attending A+ schools. The results, based upon surveys of participating art teachers and administrators, suggest that the largest potential impact of the A+ schools may be in the affective domain, influencing students’ interest in school and creative expression.

Testing Hygrometers Used in Cytogenetics Laboratories for Metaphase Preparation
Authors: Hartley Thomas , Dun Karen 
Published: July 2011

AbstractThis protocol describes procedures for checking small laboratory hygrometers for accuracy at three relative humidity (rh) levels. The work arose out of the need to provide laboratory assessors with documentary evidence that the hygrometer used to monitor humidity in the vicinity of the laboratory where medical cytogenetics testing slides are prepared and dried in the ambient environment is reproducible and sufficiently accurate. The procedure is based upon the physicochemical principle that when water or certain saturated salt solutions are placed into a sealed environment, the humidity will equilibrate to well defined levels. We choose to check our hygrometers at three points: 95%, 75%, and 33% rh, using distilled water, saturated sodium chloride solution, and saturated magnesium chloride solution, respectively. Our results have demonstrated that the procedure is convenient and of sufficient accuracy to be fit for this annual hygrometer validation purpose. The procedure takes 24 hr per relative humidity point checked. Curr. Protoc. Hum. Genet. 70:A.2F.1‐A.2F.8 © 2011 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Mild Methodology for the Versatile Chemical Modification of Polylactide Surfaces: Original Combination of Anionic and Click Chemistry for Biomedical Applications
Authors: El Habnouni Sarah , Darcos Vincent , Garric Xavier , Lavigne Jean‐Philippe , Nottelet Benjamin , Coudane Jean 
Published: July 2011

AbstractBiodegradable aliphatic polyesters such as polylactide (PLA) are widely used in medical applications. When employed as an implantable material, the control of the surface properties of PLA is of great interest because biochemical reactions occur on the surface or at interfaces. Thus, chemical modifications of the surface of degradable polyesters can be used to tailor the surface properties while preserving the bulk characteristics. This paper proposes a simple and versatile method of preventing polymer degradation and immobilizing simple molecules, macromolecules, and biomolecules on PLA surfaces. The method is based on a one‐pot, two‐step procedure: anionic activation under selected conditions followed by propargylation to form a “clickable” PLA surface. This surface is extensively characterized by SEC and fluorescence techniques using a fluorescent probe, confirming both the functionalization and the absence of PLA degradation. An example of the surface immobilization of a bioactive compound is then described: a well‐defined α‐azido‐functionalized poly(quaternary ammonium) synthesized via ATRP is covalently bound to the propargylated PLA surface using “click” chemistry. This covalent grafting is confirmed by SEC and XPS analyses. The increase in surface hydrophilicity is demonstrated by water contact‐angle measurements. Finally, a primary investigation is conducted to determine the antibacterial activity of modified PLA surfaces against E. coli and S. aureus.
Telescopic time‐scale bridging for modeling dispersion in rapidly oscillating flows
Authors: Balachandran Ram K. , Roychowdhury Jaijeet , Dorfman Kevin D. , Barocas Victor H. 
Published: July 2011

AbstractAnalytical solution of dispersion in rapidly oscillating flows becomes infeasible in complex geometries. Simulation over long durations can be prohibitively expensive when there is a wide separation between the oscillation and dispersion time scales. Here, we present a methodology based on an implicit envelope‐tracking scheme coupled with telescopic projections. A test problem, with a known analytical solution, was simulated, and the effect of Péclet number on the dispersivities was investigated. The solution was unaffected by the time steps for telescopic projections while increasing Péclet numbers introduced errors. The error was found to decrease with mesh refinement, but a small inherent error was observed. The method was also applied to a practical problem of interest to us: drug dispersion due to sloshing in the vitreous humor of the eye. Relative to single‐scale solution, the method, when applied to the vitreous sloshing problem, produced speedup values of up to 100. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2012
Revisiting Johnson and Jackson boundary conditions for granular flows
Authors: Li Tingwen , Benyahia Sofiane 
Published: July 2011

AbstractIn this article, we revisit Johnson and Jackson boundary conditions for granular flows. The oblique collision between a particle and a flat wall is analyzed by adopting the classic rigid‐body theory and a more realistic semianalytical model. Based on the kinetic granular theory, the input parameter for the partial‐slip boundary conditions, specularity coefficient, which is not measurable in experiments, is then interpreted as a function of the particle‐wall restitution coefficient, the frictional coefficient, and the normalized slip velocity at the wall. An analytical expression for the specularity coefficient is suggested for a flat, frictional surface with a low frictional coefficient. The procedure for determining the specularity coefficient for a more general problem is outlined, and a working approximation is provided.

A pilot study to determine whether health care professionals perceive stigma in heterozygote carrier identification and disclosure decisions
Authors: Moffett Alexander , Ross Lainie Friedman 
Published: July 2011

AbstractWe conducted an empirical pilot study to assess the attitudes of health care professionals (HCPs) to the personal identification of heterozygote carrier status for two autosomal recessive conditions (cystic fibrosis and a hemoglobinopathy) and for an X‐linked disorder (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) using the Health Orientation Scale (HOS) and a modified HIV Stigma Scale. Attitudes towards carrier identification of children were also assessed. Three hundred and ten of 742 (42%) eligible HCPs fully or partly completed the survey. As measured with the HOS and the modified HIV scale, respondents had a more negative reaction to the hypothetical discovery of being a carrier for an autosomal recessive genetic condition that was less likely given their self‐identified ancestry. Female respondents had a more negative reaction on both scales to being a carrier for an X‐linked disorder than men thought their partners would feel. However, the differences found on the HOS and modified HIV scale are small and their clinical relevance unknown. Fifty‐seven percent of respondents agreed that parents should tell their children to keep their carrier status private with many (44%) agreeing that children who learn that they are carriers may suffer from a decrease in self‐esteem. The vast majority of respondents would inform immediate family members and HCPs of their carrier status, but would be unlikely to share this information with neighbors or employers. Further study is needed to develop a heterozygote genetic carrier stigma scale. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
