The Significance of Joseph Margolis to Late 20th and Early 21st Century Pragmatism
Authors: Schulkin Jay 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Joseph Margolis’ philosophical work is both sanguine and fair. It is sanguine because much of it captures the inherent worth and dignity of the human condition. This includes aesthetics, anthropological diversity and history, the diversity of cognitive orientations and objectivity without foundations. Margolis embraces science and naturalism without reductionism. His pragmatism, though, is rooted more in James’ perspectivism, his local nice adaptation, and his relativism than that of Peirce and Dewey and their sense of science and the community of inquirers. Margolis’ strength is his attempt to reconcile positions and his fairness towards others as he tries to wedge his pragmatist position amid others (e.g. Quine, Davidson, Rorty, Brandom). But he celebrates the subjective stance of James, and downplayed the communal sense of Peirce and Dewey so vital to epistemic advances.
The Point of Margolis’ Dissatisfaction with Peirce (and Pragmatism)
Authors: Main R.W. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Margolis’ philosophical thought and career is framed by the pragmatism that dominated his early education and his vision of a “resurgent” pragmatism as the most promising direction for an increasingly eclectic Western philosophical tradition. This version of pragmatism is based on Peirce’s formulation of the pragmatic maxim, but Margolis sees the implications of that maxim as running counter to a central strand of Peirce’s own thought: fallibilism as an infinitist, self-correcting process of inquiry asymptotically tending toward to truth and reality. Margolis argues that this version of fallibilism is untenable and un-pragmatic, and his most mature work on the subject identifies an “abductive turn” in Peirce’s philosophy which points in the direction of an improved pragmatism, a pragmatism that is anarchic, relativistic, cast in terms of tolerances instead of laws, and without “Hope” in Peirce’s sense.
A Reinterpretation of Tao Yuanming’s Thirteen Poems from a Zhuangzian Perspective
Authors: Xu Yan , Zhang Qinming 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Although some scholars have successfully challenged the traditional biographical reading, which considers an author’s biography an important reference and proposed proper reinterpretations of many of Tao Yuanming’s poems, we still find its dominance in the interpretation of words and sentences, even the structure and theme in Tao’s poems. In light of this issue, this article reinterprets thirteen of Tao’s poems based on our detailed investigation of all the existing notes on them. Most biographical readings, shaped by the ideal image of intellectuals portrayed in the Analects, obscure the substantial connections with the Zhuangzi in Tao’s poetry. Our reinterpretation focuses on the intertextual relationship between Tao’s poems and the Zhuangzi. We can see that the influence of the Zhuangzi on Tao’s poetry is more extensive and far-reaching than previously considered. This can help us reveal the connection between Tao’s poetry and the metaphysical institution in the Eastern Jin dynasty, which took its view of life from the Zhuangzi, instead of taking Confucianism as the only source.
A Love of Labor: The Ethnographic Turn of Zhuzhici
Authors: Roddy Stephen 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
From the mid-Tang through the Qing dynasty, poets employed the short-lyric form known as zhuzhici [bamboo branch lyrics] to write, first and foremost, about ordinary people going about their daily lives in China and elsewhere in the Sinosphere. This article explores how early developments in this genre prepared the ground for what later emerged as an arguably proto-ethnographic mode – that is, both poetry and accompanying prose annotations based on poets’ direct observations of and even immersive “fieldwork” within discrete localities. I focus specifically on poems about “water labor,” by which I mean those that describe and give voice to vocational groups and communities along lakes, levies, and channels of the Yangzi River basin. It was partly thanks to this history of reporting about local lives and conditions, I argue, that zhuzhici eventually came to adopt a more information-intensive and increasingly empirical orientation during the later stages of their development. Moreover, this mode of what might even be identified tentatively as affective or lyrical ethnography prefigures efforts by contemporary social scientists to recalibrate ethnography in spatially affective modes, and I conclude with some observations on how its example might inform future efforts in these directions.
Contemplating “Return”: Xie Lingyun’s “Hillside Garden”
Authors: Wang Ping 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Xie Lingyun was the first of China’s great nature poets. As the most celebrated poet in fifth-century China and a histrionic scion of the illustrious Xie clan of the Eastern Jin, he had cultural influence that extended beyond the literary into religion and philosophy. This article examines Xie’s poetic exploration of the concept of “return” – an important rhetorical trope throughout the history of Chinese literature. By close reading, annotating, and analyzing a selection of Xie’s poems, the article sheds light on the poet’s obsession with instability in the meaning of “return” and argues that beneath the compliant poetic surface lies a saliently dissenting voice. Xie’s distinctive imagery and ideation emerge from an intricate deployment of earlier texts, among which the Classic of Changes is of paramount importance.
Hurricane Simulation and Nonstationary Extremal Analysis for a Changing Climate
Authors: Carney Meagan , Kantz Holger , Nicol Matthew 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Particularly important to hurricane risk assessment for coastal regions is finding accurate approximations of return probabilities of maximum wind speeds. Since extremes in maximum wind speed have a direct relationship with minima in the central pressure, accurate wind speed return estimates rely heavily on proper modeling of the central pressure minima. Using the HURDAT2 database, we show that the central pressure minima of hurricane events can be appropriately modeled by a nonstationary extreme value distribution. We also provide and validate a Poisson distribution with a nonstationary rate parameter to model returns of hurricane events. Using our nonstationary models and numerical simulation techniques from established literature, we perform a simulation study to model returns of maximum wind speeds of hurricane events along the North Atlantic coast. We show that our revised model agrees with current data and results in an expectation of higher maximum wind speeds for all regions along the coast, with the highest maximum wind speeds occurring along the northeast seaboard.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis, we investigate the spatial pattern and temporal variation of the upper-tropospheric water vapor (UTWV) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in summer based on the fifth-generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5). The main factors affecting UTWV in different regions over the TP are also discussed. The results show that the spatial distribution of the UTWV over the TP mainly displays the so-called uniform, east–west dipole, and north–south dipole modes. The three modes show significant periods of 5, 8, and 4 years, respectively. The first mode exhibits a small but significant positive trend over the TP, which can be mainly attributed to the intensification of the South Asian summer monsoon and accounts for 31% of the UTWV variance, followed by the South Asian high and the Indian low with 17% and 16%, respectively. The second mode shows opposite variation of water vapor over the eastern and western TP, mainly resulting from the weakened westerly wind over the eastern TP and the enhanced westerly wind over the western TP, which accounts for 57% of the UTWV variance. The third mode exhibits a positive trend of water vapor over the northern TP, mainly attributed to the ascending motion associated with local anticyclonic circulation over the northeastern TP and the decrease of the static stability over the northern TP, which account for 45% and 11% of the UTWV variance, respectively. The tropopause folds also contribute to the positive trend of water vapor shown in the third mode.

Published: June 2022

Objectives The primary objective was to gain insight into the lived experiences of using day-to-day strategies to manage post-stroke fatigue. Design Qualitative, descriptive study. Setting Community telephone interviews. Participants A purposive sample of 20 stroke survivors with current, or previous, post-stroke fatigue, and 8 caregivers, who provided informal care or support, were recruited. Main Measures Semi-structured telephone interviews were undertaken. Data were analysed using a framework approach. Results Most participants had found their own ways of coping and their personal strategies included acceptance of having fatigue; ‘pacing’ (spreading activities out and interspersing with rest periods); keeping a diary in order to plan activities and to identify ‘trigger’ activities which induced fatigue; talking to (and educating) others about having fatigue; using relaxation; and accessing professional advice and support. The burden placed on caregivers was considerable and they often had to oversee the post-stroke fatigue management strategies used. Conclusions Post-stroke fatigue is managed in different ways and there was not one particular strategy that seemed effective for everyone. Most people in our study had had to devise their own ways of coping practically. Given the scale of this problem, which profoundly impacts the lives of both stroke survivors and caregivers, the management of post-stroke fatigue merits more attention and evaluation. However, this must be directly informed by those with lived experience.

Published: June 2022

Background Recruitment and attrition are inherently challenging issues in hospice research. We sought to describe strategies of recruitment, retention, and delivery of NOVELA (short for tele novela), an intervention for hospice family caregivers (HFCG). Methods Statistics were kept of every referral, consenting participant, visit session, and intervention activity. We used the Social Marketing Mix Framework to describe recruiting strategies employed and lessons learned. Results Two hospices in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region referred 47 HFCG and N = 20 agreed to participate, out of which 50% (N = 10) completed all 4 sessions with an average of 2.8 sessions per person, each lasting an average duration of 13.5 minutes (range 8.0-25.7). The main reason for missing a session was a patient’s death (N = 8). Successful recruitment strategies employed in NOVELA included: (a) intensive start-up hospice engagement, (b) remote recruitment and delivery of NOVELA, and (c) scheduling flexibility to work around caregivers’ other demands. Conclusion The recruitment and intervention delivery had successes and challenges resulting in the identification of multiple opportunities to strengthen our strategy and inform future studies with HFCGs.

Published: June 2022

Background Wide-necked aneurysms of the posterior communicating artery associated with a fetal posterior cerebral artery that arises from the neck or dome of the aneurysm is a clinical scenario that poses a challenge to endovascular methods. Case description A patient presented with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage and was found to have a 4 × 3 × 3 mm posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Of note the aneurysm projected superiorly and a fetal posterior communicating artery aneurysm arose from the neck of the aneurysm. After multidisciplinary discussion a treatment strategy of endovascular stent-assisted coiling was chosen. Given the unique morphology of the aneurysm a novel stent-inversion maneuver was used, in which the stent was deployed from the posterior communicating artery into the distal supra-clinoid internal carotid artery. The patient tolerated the procedure well and complete aneurysm occlusion was achieved. Conclusions This case demonstrates a novel stent inversion technique that can be used for stent-assisted coiling of certain challenging aneurysms.

Background Increased understanding of adherence may facilitate optimal targeting of interventions. Objective To utilize group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) to understand longitudinal patterns of adherence and factors associated with non-adherence in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) newly-initiating once-/twice-daily oral disease-modifying therapy (DMT) (fingolimod, dimethyl fumarate, or teriflunomide). Methods Commercial plan data were analyzed using proportion of days covered (PDC) to evaluate factors associated with non-adherence. GBTM clustered patient subgroups with similar longitudinal patterns of adherence measured by monthly PDC (≥80%) and multinomial logistic regression identified factors associated with adherence trajectory subgroups. Results Among 7689 patients, 39.5% were non-adherent to once-/twice-daily oral DMTs. Characteristics associated with non-adherence (PDC<80%) included younger age, female, depression or migraine, switching during follow-up, more frequent dosing, relapse, and absence of magnetic resonance imaging. GBTM elucidated three adherence subgroups: Immediately Non-Adherent (14.9%); Gradually Non-Adherent (19.5%), and Adherent (65.6%). Additional factors associated with adherence (i.e. region, chronic lung disease) were identified and factors differed among trajectory subgroups. Conclusion These analyses confirmed that a significant proportion of patients with MS are non-adherent to once-/twice-daily oral DMTs. Unique patterns of non-adherence and factors associated with patterns of adherence emerged. The approach demonstrated how quantitative trajectories can help clinicians develop tailored interventions.
Prevention of hip fractures in older adults residing in long-term care facilities with a hip airbag: a retrospective pilot study
Authors: Nemeth Banne , van der Kaaij Marleen , Nelissen Rob , van Wijnen Jan-Kees , Drost Katja , Blauw Gerard Jan 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background
Hip and pelvic fractures do commonly occur among older adults. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the effect of introduction of the WOLK hip airbag on the incidence of hip fractures.

Methods
A retrospective study was performed among 969 participants residing within 11 long-term care facilities for older patients, belonging to one large healthcare organization in The Netherlands. The intervention concerned application of 45 WOLK hip-airbags, distributed among selected residents of the long-term care facilities. Inclusion criteria; physically active participants with a pelvic circumference between 90-125 cm able to wear the hip airbag. Exclusion criteria; participants who continuously removed the hip airbag themselves or participants who depended on a wheelchair for mobility. Main outcome measures were the occurrence of falls and hip, pelvic and other fractures.

Results
The incidence of hip and pelvic fractures declined from 3.3/100 person years to 1.8/100 person years during the study for an Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) of 0.55 (95% confidence interval (95%CI) 0.34–0.87) in the entire study population. The incidence of other fractures did not decline during the study period (IRR 0.72;95%CI 0.37–1.40). The incidence of falls declined to some extent during the study (IRR 0.88; 95%CI 0.83–0.93).

Conclusions
After introduction of the WOLK hip airbag a reduction of the incidence of hip and pelvic fractures by almost half was observed in older patients residing in long-term care facilities, even though only 45 hip airbags were distributed among the 969 residents. As selection bias cannot be ruled out in this study, the results of this pilot study warrant replication by a future clinical trial to determine true effectiveness of this intervention.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background
It is challenging to diagnose infected aneurysm in the early phase. This study aimed to describe the clinical and microbiological characteristics of infected aneurysm, and to elucidate the difficulties in diagnosing the disease.

Methods
Forty-one cases of infected aneurysm were diagnosed in Nagasaki University Hospital from 2005 to 2019. Information on clinical and microbiological characteristics, radiological findings, duration of onset, and type of initial computed tomography (CT) imaging conditions were collected. Factors related to diagnostic delay were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables or by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous variables.

Results
Pathogens were identified in 34 of 41 cases; the pathogens were Gram-positive cocci in 16 cases, Gram-negative rods in 13 cases, and others in five cases. Clinical characteristics did not differ in accordance with the identified bacteria. At the time of admission, 16 patients were given different initial diagnoses, of which acute pyelonephritis (n = 5) was the most frequent. Compared with the 22 patients with an accurate initial diagnosis, the 19 initially misdiagnosed patients were more likely to have been examined by plain CT. The sensitivities of plain CT and contrast-enhanced CT were 38.1% and 80.0%, respectively.

Conclusions
In cases of infected aneurysm, diagnostic delay is attributed to non-specific symptoms and the low sensitivity of plain CT. Clinical characteristics of infected aneurysm mimic various diseases. Contrast-enhanced CT should be considered if infected aneurysm is suspected.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Background
To report our experience with image guided pencil beam proton beam therapy (PBT) for craniospinal irradiation (CSI).

Materials and Methods
Between January 2019 and December 2021, we carried out a detailed audit of the first forty patients treated with PBT. We had recorded acute toxicities, reporting early outcomes and discuss limitations of current contouring guidelines during CSI PBT planning.

Results
Median age of the patient cohort was 8 years, and histologies include 20 medulloblastoma, 7 recurrent ependymoma, 3 pineoblastoma, 3 were germ cell tumors and remaining 7 constituted other diagnoses. Forty percent patients received concurrent chemotherapy. Median CSI dose was 23.4 Gy (Gray; range 21.6–35 Gy). Thirty-five patients (87.5%) completed their CSI without interruption, 5 required hospital admission. No patient had grade 2/ > weight loss during the treatment. Forty-five percent (18) developed grade 1 haematological toxicities and 20% (8) developed grade 2 or 3 toxicities; none had grade 4 toxicities. At median follow up of 12 months, 90% patients are alive of whom 88.9% are having local control. Special consideration with modification in standard contouring used at our institute helped in limiting acute toxicities in paediatric CSI patients.

Conclusion
Our preliminary experience with modern contemporary PBT using pencil beam technology and daily image guidance in a range of tumours suitable for CSI is encouraging. Patients tolerated the treatment well with acceptable acute toxicity and expected short-term survival outcome. In paediatric CSI patients, modification in standard contouring guidelines required to achieve better results with PBT.

Abstract
Background
In-transit metastases (ITMs) affect approximately 4% of patients with cutaneous melanoma. This study sought to identify clinical and pathological characteristics that predict further recurrence and survival following resection of ITMs.

Patients and Methods
Patients (n = 573) who underwent surgical resection of their first presentation of ITM following previous surgical treatment of an American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage I–II melanoma between 1969 and 2017 were identified from an institutional database. Clinicopathological predictors of patterns of recurrence and survival following ITM resection were sought.

Results
The median time of ITM development was 2.4 years after primary melanoma resection. ITMs were most frequently located on the lower limb (51.0%). The most common melanoma subtype associated with ITM development was nodular melanoma (44.1%). After surgical resection of a first ITM, 65.4% of patients experienced recurrent disease. Most recurrences were locoregional (44.7%), with distant metastasis occurring in 23.9% of patients. Lower limb ITMs were more frequently associated with subsequent ITMs [odds ratio (OR) 2.41, p = 0.0002], and the lowest risk of distant metastasis (p < 0.0001) compared with other primary sites. Primary melanomas and ITM on head and neck, as well as the presence of ulceration, were associated with worse survival.

Conclusions
Recurrence after surgical resection of a first ITM was common. Patterns of recurrence differed according to anatomical site; further ITM recurrences were more likely for lower limb ITMs, which were also associated with longer distant recurrence-free survival. Distant metastasis was more common for ITM on the head and neck, with worse survival.
