Ethics and Literature
Authors: Lamarque Peter 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Narratives where even remotely human-like characters and actions are depicted will elicit from readers reflections grounded in an ethical vocabulary: for example, actions conceived as selfish, kind, mean-spirited, generous, cruel. In this sense, narratives, including most literary narratives, can be spoken of as having an ethical content. However, literary readers will ask what functions, within an artistic design, are served by actions so characterized. Is the cruelty gratuitous or meaningfully integrated? Is the kindness subtly displayed or merely sentimental? On such issues are literary judgments grounded. But these judgments must be sharply distinguished from instrumental values: whether, for example, reflecting on work content in these ways can encourage empathy in readers, or enrich their understanding of moral behavior. These are no doubt benefits of some literary narratives, but they are not, this chapter argues, at the core of where narrative content manifests its ethical dimension.
Monuments and Memorials
Authors: Bicknell Jeanette , Judkins Jennifer , Korsmeyer Carolyn 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Memorials and monuments are typically works of public art with a deliberate social function: to honor persons and events considered important to remember by a community, whether local or global. Their subjects may be triumphant or catastrophic, individual or collective. Because of their central purpose, the ethical character of such works is as significant as their aesthetic success. Indeed, it can be hard to separate the two realms. However, when social and political values shift and those honored are no longer considered worthy, the ethical and the aesthetic aspects of monuments can come into intense conflict. This chapter offers a general definition of monuments and memorials, discusses their shared features, and considers the ethical and aesthetic assessments that they invite.
Art and Ethics in India in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Bhushan Nalini , Mehrotra Arvind Krishna 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In Indian modernity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, notably in the context of colonialism, the link between arts and ethics was contested for artists. Traditional ethical preoccupations with good and evil, with right and wrong action, and, with the scope of one’s duties, expanded to include different kinds of ethical choices for members of Indian society. Practitioners of the arts were presented with new dilemmas connected to the more individual and situational ethics of identity, authenticity, and creativity. This chapter analyzes the creative ferment generated by these ethical dilemmas for artists in this period. It uses four case studies drawn from painting and poetry to make its argument for an ethics of integrity arising from artistic self-awareness: the painters Amrita Sher-Gil and Bhupen Khakhar, and the poets Rabindranath Tagore and Arun Kolatkar.
Ethical Issues in Internet Culture and New Media
Authors: Cross Anthony 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The omnipresence of the internet in the twenty-first century has brought with it an explosion of new artistic media, including memes, viral videos, social media posts, and other distinctive manifestations of internet culture. These new media are largely participatory, ephemeral, and even anonymous, yet they offer important new opportunities for artistic expression. This chapter highlights their ethical significance along three main dimensions. First, the chapter focuses on how the everyday aesthetic choices afforded by online curation, filters, and internet aesthetics provide new opportunities for the expression and creation of individual identities. Second, the chapter surveys the ways that internet memes and other participatory media contribute to the formation and expression of communities with shared values. Third, the chapter discusses ethical challenges associated with ownership and attribution of instances of these media: Can anyone claim ownership of a meme? And what might such ownership consist in?
Caring with the Earth, Community, and Co-Learners for the Health of Biological, Social, and Musical Ecosystems
Authors: Smith Tawnya D. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In times of environmental crisis, it is critical that humans learn to stop living on the planet and start living with the earth. Such an evolution of worldview is critical to human survival and has profound implications for education. This chapter draws on Hendricks’s (2021) conceptions of “caring with” to consider ways music education might contribute to fostering a sustainable worldview. Given that the same ideologies that exploit the earth also exploit humans, I argue that music education pedagogies that are mindful of caring with the earth are perhaps the most profound and powerful place to attend our energies if our goal is to address systemic barriers to equity and to confront and transform the unsustainable thinking that negatively impacts our social relations and personal wellbeing.
Empathy and Deep Listening in Jazz Improvisation
Authors: Davis Troy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, I explore empathy and deep listening as potential strategies to support the musical growth of developing musicians. Specifically, I explore ways that jazz educators might model empathy through perspective-taking, flow, deep listening, and empathetic attunement to create the conditions for empathy and relational trust among students. These strategies can be implemented into curriculum and instruction by jazz educators using mentorship, engaging in open-ended dialogue, considering place-based pedagogy, and integrating musical empathy. Additionally, I contemplate ways that jazz educators might encourage students to interpret the nonverbal communication of other musicians, as this practice may enhance deep listening skills, which help to strengthen personal connections and build community.
Singing and Caring
Authors: Parker Elizabeth Cassidy , Hutton Jennifer C. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter suggests that the human voice—specifically the singing voice, represents an important way for individuals to care for one another in the world, a care desperately needed as discord appears more prevalent than consonance. It proposes singing and caring connections through a developmental lens and explore how singing interactions within oneself and with others embody singing-caring relations. Using Miller’s holistic approach to education, it anchors singing-caring relations with inclusion, balance, and connection. Lastly, it offers practice examples from public school and youth community choral settings as possibilities for educators to build singing-caring relations with singers.
Music’s Relational Imperative
Authors: Mitchell Elizabeth 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores music therapy and music education as interconnected musical-relational practices and presents these fields as lying on a continuum. With the foundational assumption that an ethic of care is an integral element of therapeutic process, the author examines points of relevance for music educators from the theories and practices of music-centered music therapists. Research surrounding the therapeutic relationship, along with practices from creative music therapy and community music therapy, are considered with respect to their intersections with music education practice. That the work of music educators is relevant for music therapists is also noted, highlighting the significance of transdisciplinary collaboration between these related disciplines.
Love, Care, Revolution, and Justice
Authors: Smith Gareth Dylan , Waller-Pace Brandi , Urbach Martin , Powell Bryan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter presents a duoethnographic discussion between four authors, where they converse and critique scholarship and practice around care in music education. The authors present overlapping and juxtaposed perspectives on how educators might support students’ identity expressions, in particular those of Black students and students from diverse backgrounds. The authors seek to share and promote critical consciousness in relation to efforts toward anti-oppressive practice, by considering love as integral to care. In doing this, they draw on scholarship from Paulo Freire and bell hooks in addition to work by Karin Hendricks. Part of the discussion is rooted in experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and ways in which this presented challenges for music educators to care.
Music-Making in Prisons and Schools
Authors: Swanson Rebecca D. , Cohen Mary L. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Performative art-making programs have the potential to counter the punitive structures of carceral systems. This chapter presents a three-part case study of music-making in a prison, using Frank Rogers’s framework of compassion-based activism to describe the experiences in this program. In particular, it explores self-compassion as a type of compassion that is essential to the abolition of oppressive structures because it builds resilient interior strength and freedom. It argues that musical learning settings can be opportune environments for cultivating compassion for oneself and others. In discussing pedagogical practices that foster compassion-based activism, it challenges readers to think about oppressive systems that might block self-compassion and relationship-building among students and teachers in music classrooms.
Popular Music Education, Aesthetic Judgment, and Gender Relations in Hungary
Authors: Barna Emília 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The chapter is an inquiry into sociocultural reproduction through popular music education in formalized settings, with a focus on gender relations. Looking at the experience of Hungarian musicians, active in a variety of music genres, of engaging in popular music education, it explores, first, how the relationship between genre conventions and values and the musical education experiences of girls and women can be described. Second, it looks at how a patriarchal order is maintained, reproduced, and reinforced through these conventions in popular music schools. Third, it identifies strategies and practices of care and (female) solidarity, both individual and collective, that respond to or question the patriarchal structure of music worlds. With the help of interview data, I reveal ways in which symbolic violence is used in Hungarian popular music education to keep women in a subordinate position, and highlight the connection between acts of symbolic violence and locally embedded genre conventions. In addition, I argue that even well-meaning acts of care may contribute to the reinforcing of the gender order.
Convivencias and a Web of Care
Authors: Shorner-Johnson Kevin , Gonzalez Martha , Shevock Daniel J. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Researchers such as Gilligan and Noddings study the abstraction, care, as linear and didactic. Linear acts of caring are problematized when they are contextualized within histories of colonization, white supremacy, and forms of anthropocentric domination. However, diverse musics and ecology invite us to reconsider, reshape, and reform abstractions of care into reciprocal relations. We draw upon convivencia in fandango to illustrate how rooted traditions may be grounded within a web of relationships. When music is enacted on local soils, the ever-present gift of Mother Earth, traditions embody the community and relationality necessary to break the hold of subject-object relations. The authors propose a musical countermelody of care as living-with where carers are always the one-caring and the cared-for at the same time.
Early monocular deprivation reduces the capacity for neural plasticity in the cat visual system
Authors: Henneberry Jonathon Mark , Elgallad Joseph , Smith Seth , Duffy Kevin R 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Obstruction of vision to one eye during early postnatal development elicits neural modifications in the visual system that can last a lifetime. Research in rodents has revealed that an early and transient monocular deprivation (MD) can produce an enduring alteration to the framework of neural connections within visual cortex. This lasting trace of early MD enables an enhanced effect of a second MD imposed on the same eye in adulthood. In the current study, we examined whether the modification of plasticity potential was bidirectional by assessing whether the effect of early and brief MD attenuated the impact of a subsequent MD when applied to the fellow eye. Results were clear in showing that animals with an early MD exhibited a smaller response to later visual deprivation of the fellow eye. Compared to controls, animals with a history of MD exhibited less atrophy of neurons, and a smaller loss of neurofilament labeling within the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus. The shift in cortical ocular dominance elicited by MD was also smaller in animals with a prior MD. These results indicate that early MD elicits abiding and eye-specific neural modifications that can selectively alter plasticity potential in the visual system.
The Tech4Rest Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Olson Ryan , Johnson Peter W. , Shea Steven A. , Marino Miguel , Springer Rachel , Rice Sean P.M. , Rimby Jarred , Donovan Courtney 
Published: August 2023

Objective
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to improve sleep, reduce fatigue, and advance the well-being of team truck drivers.

Methods
In a randomized controlled trial (k = 24 teams; N = 49 drivers; 61.3% of planned sample), intervention teams were exposed to baseline (3–4 weeks), cab enhancements (active suspension seat, therapeutic mattress; 3–4 weeks), and cab enhancements plus a behavioral sleep-health program (1–2 months). Control teams worked as usual during the same period.

Results
Trends in sleep-related outcomes favored the intervention. Large and statistically significant intervention effects were observed for objectively measured physical activity (a behavioral program target). The discussion of results addresses effect sizes, statistical power, intervention exposure, and work organization.

Conclusions
Trends, effect sizes, and significant findings in this rare trial provide valuable guidance for future efforts to improve working conditions and outcomes for team drivers.
Prepared for Home-Based Telework? The Relation between Telework Experience and Successful Workplace Arrangements for Home-Based Telework During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Gerich Joachim 
Published: August 2023

Objective
This article focuses on the perceived effects of home-based telework during the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to five outcomes (job satisfaction, burnout, work-family conflicts, technostress, and social isolation) and how these are affected by workplace arrangements and telework experience.

Methods
Cross-sectional survey data from employees in the IT, finance, and insurance sector collected during the COVID-19 crisis (N = 808) were used for the study.

Results
Outcomes are most negatively affected by feelings of surveillance and most positively affected by suitably equipped offices. Organizational teleworker support is most strongly related to job satisfaction. Experienced teleworkers report better outcomes, because of improved support, less perceived surveillance, and better equipped home stations.

Conclusions
Adaptation of management strategies avoiding surveillance and suitable setups of home offices to reconcile work and private spheres are key to well-being of teleworkers.

Published: August 2023

AbstractAnalytical performance analysis through laboratory benchmarking can more objectively compare the performance of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). We present the analytical detection limits of the Rapigen BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf/Pv (pLDH/pLDH), the Rapigen BIOCREDIT Malaria Ag Pf (pLDH/HRPII), and two best-in-class World Health Organization (WHO)-prequalified comparator RDTs, generated using standardized panels containing recombinant antigen, in vitro cultured parasites, international standards, and clinical samples. Detection limits of HRP2, PfLDH, and PvLDH were determined for the Rapigen and comparator RDTs as antigen concentration and in international units (IU)/mL. The Rapigen Ag Pf (pLDH/HRPII) detected 3.9 and 3.9 IU/mL for PfLDH and HRP2, respectively, while the Ag Pf/Pv (pLDH/pLDH) detected 3.9 and 5.0 IU/mL for PfLDH and PvLDH, respectively. The comparator HRP2/PfLDH and HRP2/PvLDH detected 15.6 and 31.3 IU/mL for HRP2 and PfLDH and 15.6 and 50.0 IU/mL for HRP2 and PvLDH, respectively. The RDT clinical sensitivity was predicted through application of analytical detection limits to antigen concentration distributions from clinical symptomatic and asymptomatic cases. Febrile cases would be detected in majority by both standard and Rapigen RDTs, though with increases in the Rapigen RDTs that may be important for clinical cases currently missed by microscopy. Rapigen RDTs were predicted to increase the detection of asymptomatic cases and improve the detection of hrp2 deletions through PfLDH detection. Through the benchmarking and simulation of clinical sensitivity, a method for rapidly assessing the ability of new RTDs to meet clinical needs using high-sensitivity antigen distribution data is presented.
Rare coding variants in schizophrenia-associated genes affect generalised cognition in the UK Biobank

Published: August 2023

AbstractImpairments in cognitive function are a feature of schizophrenia that strongly predict functional outcome and are generally not improved by current medications. However, the nature of the relationship between cognitive impairment and schizophrenia risk, and particularly the extent to which this reflects shared underlying biology, remains uncertain. We analysed exome-sequencing data from the UK Biobank to test for association between generalised cognition and damaging rare coding variation in genes and loci associated with schizophrenia in 30,487 people without the disorder. Rare protein-truncating variants (PTVs) and damaging missense variants in loss-of-function intolerant (LoFi) genes were associated with lower generalised cognition. Moreover, we found significantly stronger effects for damaging missense variants in credible causal genes at schizophrenia GWAS loci and for rare PTVs affecting LoFi genes in regions defined by schizophrenia-enriched CNVs. This suggests shared underlying biology between schizophrenia risk and general cognitive function in the population, and that exploiting large population sequencing datasets to identify genes with shared effects on cognition and schizophrenia can provide a route towards determining biological processes underlying cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.

AbstractCoccidioidomycosis is an invasive mycosis included in WHO’s priority list. It is endemic and notifiable in the United States but neglected in Central and South America. We used a multi-institutional approach to assess whether disease characteristics, genetic variation in the pathogen or environmental factors affects the epidemiology of coccidioidomycosis and disease outcomes throughout the American continent. We identified 292 patients with coccidioidomycosis between 1978 and 2021 in the Piauí and Maranhão states of Brazil; the largest cases series reported outside the US/Mexico epidemic range. The male-to-female ratio was 57.4:1 and the main risk factor was armadillo hunting (91.1%) 4 to 30 days before symptom onset. Forty-two outbreaks involving two to six patients were observed. Most patients (92.8%) presented typical acute pulmonary disease, followed by disseminated (3.4%), chronic pulmonary (2.4%) and regressive pulmonary (1.4%). The most frequent clinical symptoms were cough (93%), fever (90%) and chest pain (77%). Mortality was observed in 8% of the patients. In 2004, and between 2015 and 2017, we observed a spike in coccidioidomycosis in Brazil, particularly in the state of Piauí. Unlike other main hotspots, the soil is acidic in this region and precipitation (p=0.015) and precipitation one-year prior (p=0.001) were predictors of higher coccidioidomycosis rates. The Brazilian strains are genotypically divergent from other describedC. posadasiiwithin the Texas/Mexico/South America clade. Coccidioidomycosis in Northeastern Brazil has a specific infection profile and armadillo hunters are at higher risk. Low pluviosity and extensive drought appear key to increasing the number of cases in Brazil. A uniqueC. posadasiilineage exists in Brazil; therefore, environmental, virulence, and/or pathogenesis traits may differ from otherCoccidioidesgenotypes.

Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo measure mechanical strain of the lamina cribrosa (LC) after intraocular pressure (IOP) change produced one week after a change in glaucoma medication.DesignCohort study.ParticipantsAdult glaucoma patients (23 eyes, 15 patients) prescribed a change in IOP-lowering medication.InterventionNon-invasive optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the eye.Main OutcomesDeformation calculated by digital volume correlation of OCT scans of the LC before and after IOP lowering by medication.ResultsAmong 23 eyes, 17 eyes of 12 persons had IOP lowering ≥ 3 mmHg (reduced IOP group) with tensile anterior-posteriorEzzstrain = 1.0% ± 1.1% (p = 0.003) and compressive radial strain (Err) = -0.3% ± 0.5% (p=0.012; random effects models accounting inclusion of both eyes in some persons). Maximum in-plane principal (tensile) strain and maximum shear strain in the reduced IOP group were:Emax= 1.7% ± 1.0% andΓmax= 1.4% ± 0.7%, respectively (both p<0.0001 versus zero). Reduced IOP group strainsEmaxandΓmaxwere significantly larger with greater %IOP decrease (<0.0001, <0.0001). The compliance of theEzz,Emax, andΓmaxstrain response, defined as strain normalized by the IOP decrease, were larger with more abnormal perimetric mean deviation or visual field index values (all p≥0.02). Strains were unrelated to age (all p≥0.088). In reduced IOP eyes, mean LC anterior border posterior movement was only 2.05 μm posteriorly (p=0.052) and not related to % IOP change (p=0.94, random effects models). OnlyErrwas significantly related to ALD change, becoming more negative with greater posterior LC border change (p=0.015).ConclusionLC mechanical strains can be effectively measured by changes in eye drop medication using OCT and are related to degree of visual function loss in glaucoma.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.govIdentifier:NCT03267849
