AbstractBackgroundThe feasibility of implementing an advance care planning (ACP) program in daily clinical practice for glioblastoma patients is unknown. We aimed to evaluate a previously developed disease-specific ACP program, including the optimal timing of initiation and the impact of the program on several patient-, proxy-, and care-related outcomes.MethodsThe content and design of the ACP program were evaluated, and outcomes including health-related quality of life (HRQoL), anxiety and depression, and satisfaction with care were measured every 3 months over 15 months.ResultsEighteen patient-proxy dyads and two proxies participated in the program. The content and design of the ACP program were rated as sufficient. The preference for the optimal timing of initiation of the ACP program varied widely, however, most of the participants preferred initiation shortly after chemoradiation. Over time, aspects of HRQoL remained stable in our patient population. Similarly, the ACP program did not decrease the levels of anxiety and depression in patients, and a large proportion of proxies reported anxiety and/or depression. The needed level of support for proxies was relatively low throughout the disease course, and the level of feelings of caregiver mastery was relatively high. Overall, patients were satisfied with the provided care over time, whereas proxies were less satisfied in some aspects.ConclusionsThe content and design of the developed disease-specific ACP program were rated as satisfactory. Whether the program has an actual impact on patient-, proxy-, and care-related outcomes proxies remain to be investigated.

Abstract
AbstractAs a result of treatment and diagnosis, adults with primary or metastatic brain tumors experience comorbidities that impacts their health and well-being. The Children’s Oncology Group has guideline recommendations for childhood survivors of brain tumors; however, guidelines for monitoring long-term sequela among adult brain tumor survivors are lacking. The purpose of this review is to present the screening recommendations for the long-term complications after brain tumor treatment from a multidisciplinary panel of healthcare professionals. Chronic complications identified include cognitive dysfunction, vasculopathy, endocrinopathy, ophthalmic, ototoxicity, physical disability, sleep disturbance, mood disorder, unemployment, financial toxicity, and secondary malignancy. We invited specialists across disciplines to perform a literature search and provide expert recommendations for surveillance for long-term complications for adult brain tumor survivors. The Brain Tumor Center Survivorship Committee recommends routine screening using laboratory testing, subjective assessment of symptoms, and objective evaluations to appropriately monitor the complications of brain tumor treatments. Effective monitoring and treatment should involve collaboration with primary care providers and may require referral to other specialties and support services to provide patient-centered care during neuro-oncology survivorship. Further research is necessary to document the incidence and prevalence of medical complications as well as evaluate the efficacy of screening and neuro-oncology survivorship programs.
Improving children’s executive functions: evidence fromcapoeira
Authors: Hirata Guilherme 
Published: June 2022

AbstractPhysical activities have several benefits for mental and physical health, but the evidence on preschool-age children is limited. This article tests whether martial arts can provide a stimulating environment for boosting children’s executive functions. Exploring a preschool programme that randomly assigned schools to receive capoeira classes, we estimate an intention-to-treat effect on children’s inhibitory control, short-term memory, and cognitive flexibility. Results show modest positive impacts on inhibitory control only. Treated children performed 0.13 of a standard deviation better than the control group. Instrumental variable estimation provides additional positive impact on children’s inhibitory control. In addition, children living in households that receive the Bolsa Família grant and those born to mothers with low schooling levels tend to show larger impacts.
The Conceptual Brain
Authors: Dove Guy 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter proposes that we need an elastic conception of grounding in which experiential resources are stretched to handle categories that are not tied to the direct experience of our immediate physical environment. This approach has three main elements. The first is a strong commitment to multimodality. Concepts are handled in part by representations that are distributed across multiple experiential modalities, including those associated with action, emotion, exteroception, and interoception. The second is a commitment to hierarchical representations. Conceptual grounding is not limited to representations located within primary sensorimotor areas. The third is a commitment to flexibility. Concepts are realized in a context- and task-sensitive fashion. The contrast between this approach and traditional approaches is made clear.
Growth and Development
Authors: Dove Guy 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter reviews recent research on abstract word learning. What emerges from this review is that children rely on multiple grounded cues to learn the meanings of abstract words—including cues associated with emotion, iconicity, interoception, and language. The relative importance of these cues varies at different stages of development. Iconicity, for instance, appears to be very important at early stages of word acquisition. Affective information appears to play a central role during a period of rapid growth of abstract word learning that occurs from 8 to 9 years of age. Language-based information appears to be important throughout the learning process but exerts greater influence later in development, when children tend to acquire emotionally neutral abstract words.
Metaphor
Authors: Dove Guy 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter argues that metaphor is a complex phenomenon shaped by grounding, culture, language, and discourse factors. Some supporters of grounded cognition hold that abstract concepts are indirectly grounded by means of conceptual metaphors linking concrete source domains with abstract target domains. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be a complete solution to the challenges posed by abstract concepts. The same abstract domain can be linked to several different concrete domains, and the same concrete domain can be mapped onto several different abstract domains. Critics of conceptual metaphor theory maintain that metaphor is largely a discourse phenomenon and point to the fact that much of the evidence for grounded metaphors is circumscribed and plagued by variability. The author argues that metaphors are elastic. Different metaphors rely on different resources. Novel metaphors tend to rely more on sensorimotor grounding, and conventionalized metaphors tend to rely more on language. All metaphors are context-sensitive and task-dependent.
The Elastic Mind
Authors: Dove Guy 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter offers a unified assessment of the elasticity hypothesis and ties together the arguments from the previous chapters. Our facility with abstract concepts reveals that our conceptual system is multimodal, hierarchical, scaffolded, and flexible. These design features suggest that abstract concepts are more circumscribed and ad hoc than is often assumed. The concept of hardness in the material sciences is used to show that even technical concepts are provisional cognitive tools adapted to specific tasks and interpreted against the background of shifting practical and theoretical concerns. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the ways in which the elasticity of our concepts transforms the research program of grounded cognition. New research needs to explore the diverse sources of grounding, the influence of higher-level representations, and the ways in which concepts are shaped by social factors and situations.
Getting Connected and Elected with Political Parties
Authors: Lien Pei-te , Filler Nicole 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter resumes the account of individual trajectories but focuses on the roles of political parties in campaigns for the first office and, for some, higher offices. After presenting a statistical profile of the partisan orientations of APAEOs in the present day, the chapter explores the personal formation of partisan ties (or not) to either the GOP or the Democratic Party, by plan or by chance, in broadly chronological order and by the partisan label. To better comprehend the evolving role of parties in the incorporation of APAs, the chapter peruses Democratic Party history in Hawaii and California and the unique place of local party clubs in California. The analysis finds some significant deviations from the main narrative of party neglect of newcomers and minorities and presents a more complex picture with nuanced partisan, gender, ethnic, and immigration generation differences. The chapter closes by discussing how some survived party marginalization and neglect.
Advancing Justice through Transformative Leadership and Substantive and Symbolic Representation
Authors: Lien Pei-te , Filler Nicole 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter reviews past research on the multiple, interrelated dimensions of political representation related to Asian Americans and provides a snapshot of the scope of issue priorities and the relative importance of social justice concerns among APAEOs serving in 2020. Then, in broadly chronological order, it presents separate accounts of legislative achievements for advancing justice by pioneering figures and significant others in the electoral history of respective APA communities featured in preceding chapters. These historical and contemporary manifestations of symbolic and substantive representation vary by ethnic community and causes, including early responses to Covid-19 by the APA delegation in the 116th Congress. The analysis highlights the racialized and gendered processes through which legislators at the federal, state, and local levels enact their roles as social justice advocates. The chapter underscores the need for a womanist conception of transformative leadership to address persistent and growing inequities impacting the intersectionally disadvantaged in the community.
Building Practices and Historical Context in Augustan Columbarium Tombs
Authors: Borbonus Dorian 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Augustan columbarium tombs illustrate a variety of distinctive building practices. Part of the reason that they are unique may lie in the pragmatic challenges of constructing underground burial chambers, which prompted innovative solutions. Aside from the building process, columbarium architecture also reveals a broader historical context. The architectural framework and its modification over time are manifestations of the rise and fall of organized collective burial in Rome. Funerary inscriptions link this practice to institutionalized slavery, aristocratic households, and formal associations (collegia). The most concrete historical anchor may be the time period of construction that narrowly concentrates on the earliest decades in the 1st century ce. This historical placement of columbarium architecture produces an important counterweight to the concurrent Augustan building program and shifts the focus from the urban epicenters of imperial activity to the suburban periphery. Building practices in Augustan Rome thus comprise both official architecture and private construction: the former powerfully articulated the political landscape of the time and the latter enabled individuals to situate themselves within these realities.
Forgotten Constructions
Authors: von Kienlin Alexander 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In the 2nd century ce, Roman engineers built large roof structures that spanned up to 50m. With the end of the Roman Empire, these high-performance constructions disappeared, and such spans were not realized again before the 19th century. Most of these imperial roofs were made predominantly of wood, and they were lost without any surviving documentation. Only the bronze roof truss above the vestibule of the Pantheon provided an impression of the nature of these constructions. Although this roof was also destroyed in the 18th century, numerous drawings and descriptions give a very clear illustration of its structure and construction details. Recent metal finds from the fire-destroyed roof of the Odeion of Kibyra now shed new light on the wooden constructions of the Roman imperial era and point to an innovative, material-saving construction design that came very close to the principle of the modern latticed truss (in German Fachwerkbinder). This chapter will discuss these high-capacity constructions and their importance in Roman architecture, as well as try to explain why they were fully lost and forgotten in Late Antiquity.
Two Terracotta Vaulting Elements
Authors: Lancaster Lynne C. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Imperial Rome had some of the most innovative vaulted architecture from the ancient world, but even before the Imperial period, builders were experimenting by creating new ways of using terracotta vaulting elements, usually in the context of bath buildings. This chapter examines the origins of two of them: vaulting tubes and armchair voussoirs. The initial uses of both techniques developed in response to the need for creating fire- and moisture-proof ceilings over the hot rooms of bath buildings at a time before concrete technology had developed. The roots of both techniques go back to the 3rd century bce. The chapter traces their subsequent morphological development and geographical dissemination and suggests that the differing trajectories for each can be understood in relation to changing economic factors in different regions that affected the scale of terracotta production.
Virtual Collapse? Considerations of Structure in Reconstructing Greek Architecture
Authors: Wilson Jones Mark , Herdt Georg 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The remains of buildings from the Archaic period and earlier are often exiguous, yet there is understandable pressure to reconstruct the original form of those of particular significance for architectural history. Such is the case for both the Toumba building at Lefkandi (c. 950 bce) and the Temple of Artemis at Corfu (c. 580 bce). The standard reconstructions of both, however, are probably not viable as structural/constructional solutions. The former cannot have been as monumental as thought and may not have had a “veranda” (or proto-peristyle). Meanwhile the Corfu temple was not as wide as thought; it probably had seven rather than eight columns across the front and a narrower span for its “pseudo-dipteral” pteron. Demonstrating the problems with the previous reconstructions while proposing new ones opens up two kinds of discussion: one about the role of structural calculations in the reconstruction of ancient architecture, the other about the overemphasis placed on the peristyle in the development of the Greek temple.
Existential Media
Authors: Lagerkvist Amanda 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This book offers a reappreciation and revisiting of existential philosophy—and in particular of Karl Jaspers’s philosophy—for media theory in order to remedy the existential deficit in the field. The book thereby also offers an introduction to the young field of existential media studies. Jaspers’s concept of the limit situation is chosen as a privileged reality which allows for bringing limits, in all their shapes and forms, onto the radar when interrogating digital existence. Despite their all-pervasiveness the book argues that media speak to and about limits and limitations in a variety of ways. The book furthermore argues that the present age of deep technocultural saturation—and of escalating multifaceted and interrelated global crises—is a digital limit situation, in which there are both existential and politico-ethical stakes of media. To enter into these terrains, the book places the margin of mourners and the meek—the coexisters—at the center of media studies. The book provides an alternative mapping for approaching digital cultures in contexts of both the mundane and the extraordinary, and on scales traversing the individual and the global. Empirically Existental Media attends to mourning, commemorating, and speaking to the dead online as well as to the digital afterlife. It interrogates four cases that center on the voices from the field of online bereavement, and provides an arc of media instantiations of the digital limit situation: chapter 5: Metric Media; chapter 6: Caring Media, chapter 7: Transcendent Media and chapter 8: Anticipatory media.
Caring Media
Authors: Lagerkvist Amanda 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter argues that existential media are caring media, though their role as lifelines in moments of ultimate disruption and loss. It sheds light on two contemporary online phenomena—blogs about terminal illness and online support groups for bereaved persons and explores what these mean for those acutely affected by suffering and loss. In the shadow of the grand interruption, the online activities of mourners and those struck by illness, and more profoundly the internet itself, become literal lifelines, both individual and collective. But even as this medium offers a number of positive allowances for those affected, this does not preclude parallel emotional ambivalences in digital existence. The chapter begins by outlining different definitions and possibilities for understanding existential media as caring media in a world of biopolitics, neoliberalism, and ideologies of self-care, and analyzes how we can understand care and vulnerability in the context of digital media culture, both for the disabled and for people in bereavement. It stresses the role of life in contemporary posthumanist critique and asks questions about the role of death, limits, and interruptions in debates that emphasize the vitality of media. It suggests rethinking the internet in light of the concept of lifeline communication. It discusses four forms of lifeline communication: they are importantly habitual and at the same time literal and salvific; they are also haptic, processual, and deeply material. They make patterns predictable, enable mundane routine, and facilitate a being there for one another online.
‘to make / An object’
Authors: Nowell Smith David 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The introductory chapter identifies the central faultline to W. S. Graham’s poetics in the tension between ‘objecthood’ and ‘release’. On the one hand, Graham seeks to hone a finished object, ‘that will stand and will not move’; on the other, poems seek to ‘release’ into the lives of their readers and listeners. The chapter tracks this tension throughout his oeuvre, and argues for a distinctive understanding of the poem as an ‘art object’. It then situates this poetics within the broader currents of modernist and mid-century poetry and art, arguing that while Graham spent much of his lifetime on the peripheries of the UK poetry culture, his work now reads as exemplary of that culture. The chapter finishes with a reflection on the methodology of reading drafts, unpublished poems, and finished poems, alongside one another as a thinking-in-progress.
‘He found his poetry arm’
Authors: Nowell Smith David 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter analyses Graham’s poetic autobiography through an anxiety surrounding poetry’s lack of substance, first compared to the manual and industrial labour of Greenock, the shipbuilding town where Graham was born, and second compared to the manual work of (masculine) artists in and around St Ives, where Graham lived most of his adult life. It traces tropes of industrial pastoral in Graham’s early work, and his mythic depiction of a poet standing outside the world of production and exchange, while noting that this notion of poetic autonomy veers between virile self-assertion and worries of effeminacy for its lack of physical strength. This affects Graham’s treatment of his poetic medium, both as it leads him to explore the physicality of words, and as he also unpacks the possibilities of a substanceless language, less material than mutable.
‘to interrupt silence into / Manmade durations’
Authors: Nowell Smith David 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter discusses Graham’s verse practice and his attempt to craft a distinctive repertoire: what he called ‘the gradual construction of a timbre’. It charts the development of Graham’s signature ‘three-accent line’, from his first uses of the verse form in the mid-1940s through to his mature work, as well as his experiments with traditional metres like the pentameter. Underpinning these experiments, it argues, is a concern with the relation between linguistic silence and rhythmic temporality, and so Graham’s versification can be read as an extension of his attempts both to engender, and break, the ‘silence’ that lies at the heart of human communication, and poetic expression.
‘my eye imprisoned by Art’
Authors: Nowell Smith David 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter turns to Graham’s fascination in the visual, from his use of metaphor and depiction of the poet’s image-making capacity, through to his ekphrastic poems and his own visual oeuvre: drawings, watercolours, calligraphic copies of poems, and mixed-media work. It starts by noting a tension in Graham’s understanding of painting, between the ‘painting hand’ and the ‘painting I (eye)’: that is, between plasticity and vision, before tracking tropes of the eye, of seeing and envisioning, and of the visual field, and noting Graham’s regular play on the echo of ‘disguise’ in the verb ‘disclose’. Sight is also integral to the face to face encounters of communication, and in discussions of Graham’s ekphrastic poems, and poems about constructing visual artworks, the chapter looks at how the gaze operates as a mode both of communication and of power: the artist’s seeing both ‘releases’ them into another’s experience, and objectifies that experience, and thus risks imprisoning both the seeing and the seen within its art.
Our Clouded Hills
Authors: Whittaker Jason 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
This chapter traces the fate of several early copies of Blake’s poem, along with its early reception history, including an explanation by Algernon Charles Swinburne in his publication William Blake. A Critical Essay, via mid to late Victorian editors, inclusion in anthologies, mentions in influential journals, and unusual interpretations of its meaning to the first setting of the poem to music by Henry Walford Davies and its inclusion in the anthology The Spirit of Man by Robert Bridges. Both Davies and Bridges were particularly instrumental in commissioning Charles Hubert Parry to compose the music that would become better known as ‘Jerusalem’.
